"Metropolis" is a photo collection by Ishimoto Yasuhiro, a world-renowned photographer from Japan. Renowned American photographer Minor White is said to have commented upon Ishimoto Yasuhiro's work, describing it as "a blend of Japanese, American, and German influences." Born in San Francisco, raised in Tosa, Japan, and studied photography under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at Chicago's New Bauhaus, a school that followed the German Bauhaus. The New Bauhaus' approach to "looking at subjects without preconceived notions" is fully appreciated in "Metropolis," the eighth volume in the "Contemporary Images" series. This book was shot between 1962 and 1971, primarily in Tokyo and along the Shonan coastline where Ishimoto lived. While it differs from the flawless, perfect style of "Somewhere, Somewhere, Somewhere" and "Chicago, Chicago," it offers a glimpse into another fascinating side of Ishimoto Yasuhiro's work, filled with a playful spirit.
