This is the catalog for the exhibition "Japan Caught by Camera – Works from the Photographic Art in Japan," held in cooperation with Zeit-Foto Salon, which has played a major role in introducing Japanese photography to the world. The exhibition was held at the Shanghai Art Museum in 2007 and was planned within the context of international exchange introducing Japanese photographic expression to China. This exhibition can be seen as an extension of the activities of Zeit-Foto Salon, which has been deeply involved in shaping the international reputation of Japanese photography since its establishment in 1978, introducing artists such as Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Shomei Tomatsu, and Eikoh Hosoe to the world. This book presents how Japanese society and culture have been perceived through photography, through a variety of works. With the perspective of Japan as seen from overseas as a backdrop, it is also an interesting document that shows the process by which Japanese photography has been accepted across national borders.
