"A few days before the show at Radio City Music Hall, Bowie did a photo session, a rehearsal and an interview at RCA Studio. He went on to do another rehearsal at Radio City Music Hall. Yacco-San was working as the stylist, running here and there with costumes by Kansai Yamamoto that she'd brought over from Japan. They looked marvellous" Masayoshi Sukita.

This photograph has special significance for Sukita because it was chosen by David Bowie to blow up to a very large size and display in the foyer of the Rainbow Theatre for his concerts there on 19 and 20 August 1972. As Sukita explains: "I was very pleased about it. It proved that David-san really did like my work, and that was very important to me."

For this shoot, Sukita rented the studio from a Japanese photographer called Hiroshi Yoda and they did the session a week before David's show at The Rainbow Theatre. Immediately beforehand, Bowie had been at a shoot with David Bailey. The whole session lasted just two hours. Some photographs from the shoot were featured in a popular Japanese fashion magazine, an-an, receiving a great deal of response from the readers.

"Bowie had come to Japan to film a commercial for a drink called Crystal Jun Rock Sunita received a call from Kyoto, where Bowie was staying for 10 days, and off he went with Yacco to make a one-day documentary of Bowie. Bowie had already made himself a local and drove them everywhere himself. We went to a local shopping area, rode the local trains and went out to a disco night. Most of the people around him were unaware of who he was, which perhaps gave him more freedom than usual." Masayoshi Sukita

"We didn't get a lot of chances to shoot him, because of the lack of time and the problem of distance. Then we came up with an idea to create a mannequin so that we could shoot his portraits anytime we wanted. He was so co-operative in its production. The idea of the doll is that the old skin is flaking off and a new self is re-born. Each portrait I have made this way over 30 years is always a new and unique, timeless piece of work that I cherish." Masayoshi Sukita
