"Ravens and Red Lipstick: Japanese Photography since 1945," by UK-based curator Lena Fritsch, is the English translation of the Japanese edition, "A History of Japanese Photography 1945-2017: The Diversity of 'Japanese Photography' from a European Perspective." Tracing Japanese photography chronologically from postwar realism through "Vivo" and "Provoke," to the diversification of photographic expression from the 1990s onward, and up to the present day, the book interprets Japanese photography in connection with its social, political, consumer culture, and institutional backgrounds. Including interviews with Daido Moriyama and others, the book is characterized by its presentation of movements and trends not merely as a history of styles, but in the atmosphere of the times. As a comprehensive overview presenting a complete picture of postwar Japanese photography to the English-speaking world, it is visually rich in content. Following its initial publication in 2018, this compact softcover edition was reprinted in 2024.
