Published by: Publisher not listed, Japan, 1998
Softcover with black vinyl back cover, bolt-bound, 100 pages
30 × 15 cm
Language: Japanese
Condition: Excellent. Clean, tight, and beautifully preserved; no visible wear. Includes original sticker.

Created in 1998 for the release of Shinya Tsukamoto’s Bullet Ballet, this striking booklet embodies the film’s raw, industrial intensity. Designed with a black vinyl back cover and bound with metal bolts, the object itself feels like an extension of Tsukamoto’s cinematic world mechanical, tactile, and deliberately abrasive.

Inside, the booklet unfolds across a series of stark layouts, production stills, design fragments, and atmospheric pages many intentionally left blank to echo the film’s tension, silence, and psychological weight. Its elongated format (30 × 15 cm) further emphasizes the sharp, skeletal aesthetic central to Tsukamoto’s work.

More than a promotional item, this publication stands as a rare piece of Japanese cinema ephemera from one of the most influential directors of underground film. Bullet Ballet with its exploration of obsession, alienation, and the mechanics of violence finds a physical parallel in this beautifully constructed booklet.

Complete with its original sticker, this edition is an essential collectible for fans of Tsukamoto, Japanese experimental cinema, and late-1990s film culture.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
