In 1963, Hosoe published a book of photographs entitled Barakei [Ordeal By Roses], in which a baroque-like world of aestheticism was structured with Yukio Mishima as the subject.

Hosoe was also enthusiastic about participating in social activities and promoted photographic education by holding workshops in Japan and abroad and helped establish public collections of photographs.

 Review of Kamaitachi by Eikoh Hosoe at Photobook Guide
Photographer Eikoh Hosoe, who as a boy was evacuated to a northern village during the war, returned to the land of the kamaitachi in late 1967.
Hosoe photographs the spirit of both Butoh and Kamaitachi in dark grainy shadows.
Hosoe has recruited Hijikata for the performance but from the outset we have the impression that it is the spontaneous kamaitachi who is choreographing the photographer rather than the reverse.

Mishima's elaborate and erotic psyche was captured nine years before his death by master photographer Eikoh Hosoe.
