"Iwagō Tokumitsu's Copulation" is a photo collection by photographer Tokumitsu Iwagō that focuses on the mating of animals.
Tokumitsu Iwago is the father of the well-known animal photographer Mitsuaki Iwago, who is featured in NHK's "Mitsuaki Iwago's World of Cat Walking." He has published many works documenting the ecology and behavior of animals. This book is a photo collection that captures the moments of mating of various animals and realistically records their reproductive behavior.
Although it's a book for children, the cover design is elaborate, and even now, the high quality of the printing stands out. Furthermore, it has a humorous perspective and is a unique book with distinctive photos that are characteristic of Norimitsu Iwago.

Iwagō Tokumitsu (1919-2007)
Born in Kushiro City, Hokkaido on December 18, 1919. After dropping out of the Faculty of Economics at Nihon University, he worked part-time at a camera equipment store and at a munitions factory, and then joined the newspaper department of the Dalian Jiji Shimbun in China in 1941. He later worked at the editorial department of the Mainichi Shimbun's Tokyo headquarters. I started photographing animals when I had the opportunity to work on a special feature about plants and animals for "Mainichi Graph." In 1960, he won the Fuji Professional Photography Award (sponsored by Fujifilm). His son, Mitsuaki Iwago, is also an animal photographer. Died on February 12, 2007.
