"1960: Nagano Shigeichi Photo Collection" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Nagano Shigeichi. Nagano, a leading figure in postwar Japanese photojournalism, has quietly captured the expressions and atmosphere of the people gathered there, rather than the events themselves, while immersed in political and social scenes. This book brings together photographs taken and published in 1960, a year of great upheaval, including the Security Treaty protests and the start of Japan's rapid economic growth. Rather than reinterpreting them from a later perspective, the book focuses on images captured with the artist's own sense of the time. Rather than focusing on the heart of the news, the book is permeated with a perspective that stands in the midst of change and on its periphery. The photographs serve as both a social record and a collection of personal experiences. Rather than speaking unambiguously of the year 1960, the book's structure, which questions the "time of being there" through photographs, secures its place in the history of postwar Japanese photography.
