This book is a collection of works titled "Japanese Photography Since 1945 (Second Printing, With OBI)," published by Lena Fritsch, who has worked as a curator in museums and galleries overseas. Since the 1990s, numerous exhibitions of Japanese photographers, mainly Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama, have been held, but there are still few exhibitions or books that summarize the history and roots of Japanese photography, making this a valuable book. It comprehensively covers everything from pre-war avant-garde and journalism, to the new expressions and depictions of post-war photographers such as Ikko Narahara and Shomei Tomatsu, to the increasingly intense, powerful, and interesting Provoke and Personal Photography that responded to these, to large-format photography associated with contemporary art from the 1980s onward, the girly photo boom from the 1990s onward, and contemporary photography from the 21st century onward, all presented with rich content accompanied by images and text. This book includes interviews by Lena with Araki and Moriyama, Kawada Kikuji and Suda Issei, Nagashima Yurie and Sawada Tomoko, and others, making it a compelling read and read. Japanese edition (supervised by Iizawa Kotaro). Published in 2019, 2nd printing. With dust jacket.
