"GIMATAI (Signed)" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Jiro Konami (1986-). Konami moved to New York in 2016 and has been recognized internationally. He began photography in 2006 and spent eight years photographing his own father, publishing the photobook "Looking at My Father" in 2013. He has also produced photographs through a variety of approaches, including shooting for fashion and lifestyle magazines and collaborating with fashion brands such as "mame," "WACKO MARIA," and "Zucca." This photobook, released by Tokyo fashion brand "BlackEyePatch," features the Okinawan vintage motorcycle club "GIMATAI." The photos capture the lustrous, mechanical shapes of motorcycles, the impersonal tools like wrenches, and the members' acrobatic maneuvers. This collection of photographs has the same sense of realism and outrageousness as Yoshinobu Jumonji's masterpiece "Centaur," which follows a Yokohama motorcycle team, while at the same time, Konami's unique perspective gives it an artistic appeal.
