.

This revised edition has been enlarged to the same B5 format as "SEIU ITO’S BLAME ARTS [new edition]."

=====

Seiu commissioned a photographer to take pictures and published torture photos that seemed to be connected to the world of his own paintings.

You can certainly get a glimpse of the aesthetics of Seiu.

Seiu sometimes explained the purpose of photography using the word "research''.

He must have been constantly curious to see how her limbs would writhe and how her expression would suddenly change due to the torture.

At times, her black hair is imbued with a mysterious spirit, and the way she throws back her frightening features is reminiscent of the chilling images of women in the spirit world, which were Seisu's specialty in ghost paintings.
