Page that appears to be a book sales site
In the short-lived (and I think prematurely concluded) AfD: "this page, which appears to be a book sales site": It's a page belonging to the seemingly moribund website of 柏艪舎 = Hakurosya (Hakurosha in Hepburn), the Sapporo-based publisher of the book. One of the few accessible pages of the site makes it clear that this is (to skip the euphemisms) a vanity publisher. A very large percentage of Japanese photobook publishing requires payment by the photographer, but it's normal for this to go discreetly unmentioned. -- Hoary (talk) 23:07, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
