"After Man and Woman, it was but a small step to Embrace. Actually, Hosoe started photographing for Embrace immediately after completing Man and Woman. Embrace wasn't published, however until 10 years later, in 1971 … According to Hosoe, 'Around the time I started photographing Embrace, Bill Brandt's Perspective of Nude exhibition was imported. I was greatly shocked to find that one of the photographs in Brandt's exhibition greatly resembled those in Embrace, so I stopped working on it for a time' … Although this was pure accident, perhaps it was something Hosoe couldn't bear since he places such great emphasis on originality."—Extract from text by Nobuya Yoshimura
