The entirety and details of his 1974 installation "Flood" have been brought back to life for the first time in printed form. Flood" is a 6-meter wide by 1.6-meter long installation of 48 color photographs created and exhibited by Takuma Nakahira for the "15 Photographers" exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, in 1974.
