A photo book by Tomatsu Shomei, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. His documents from the 1960s and 1970s, including "Japan (1967)," "I am a King (1972)," and "Pencil of the Sun (1975)," are both valuable historical records and have pioneering value as artistic photography. Tomatsu Shomei was a central figure in the rise of postwar Japanese photography, admired by Takuma Nakahira and Daido Moriyama. This is Tomatsu's first photo book alone, and a shining treasure in the history of Japanese photography. Tomatsu first landed in Nagasaki in 1961, 15 years after the atomic bombing. In contrast to the city's signs of recovery, he witnessed the reality that many people still lived in fear of their future lives and health. He resolved not to let this fact be "forgotten," and continued to face the city and its people, photographing them in this valuable collection of records of "Nagasaki." (The Shashin Dojinsha company later went bankrupt. Tomatsu, who had planned to publish a series of collections, quickly established his own publishing company, Shaken, and published a collection of photographs of Nagasaki, Okinawa, and Japan.)
