"Europe: Still Time," the first photo collection by Ikko Narahara, one of Japan's leading photographers. After graduating from the Faculty of Law at Chuo University, Ikko Narahara majored in art history at Waseda University's graduate school. From then on, he devoted himself to avant-garde art, cultivating relationships with many artists while forging his path as a photographer. He made a striking debut with his first exhibition, "Land of Humanity," in 1956, and won the Japan Photo Critics Association Newcomer Award in 1958 for "Kingdom." Narahara, who became a leading figure in the post-war Japanese photography world with his cutting-edge artistic expression, published this book in 1967, his first work. It is a personal documentary edited from more than 30,000 negatives taken during his three-year stay in Europe from 1962. The author says, "It was a discovery of Europe, a dialogue between the core of Europe and my heart." Even today, the numerous original monochrome and color illustrations are full of "newness" and "surprise." The book design is by Kohei Sugiura (with cooperation from Mitsuo Katsui), and it features the then-new "perfect binding" technique, allowing the photographic illustrations to be beautifully appreciated even when the pages are opened. The dust jacket is missing. (Included in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
