"Tokyo, the '50s / Blue Yokohama" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Ikko Narahara (1931–2020). Narahara pioneered postwar Japanese photography, capturing the relationship between humans and cities, memory and time with a poetic and social perspective. This book combines his masterpiece, "Tokyo, the '50s," depicting Tokyo in the 1950s, with a collection of previously unpublished works, "Blue Yokohama," vividly portraying the scenes of Tokyo and Yokohama during their postwar reconstruction period. Each photograph—people in the crowds, the humid air drifting through alleys and harbors, signs of change etched into the city's contours—is both a document conveying the spirit of the times and a quiet reminiscence of personal memories. This is an important volume that allows readers to rediscover Narahara's perspective, from his early days to his maturity.
