Description from the seller

Every Building on the Ginza Street

Signed, Takashi Homma
limArt /2019/Japanese/148*185*10

Japanese photographer Takashi Homma's collection Every Building on the Ginza Street (Signed). This book is part of a tribute series to American contemporary artist Ed Ruscha, initiated in the mid-2010s as a collaborative project between Ebisu's POST and designer Yoshihisa Tanaka. It is a parody of Every Building on the Sunset Strip, published in a limited edition in 1966. Honma chose “Ginza” as his stage. When one thinks of Ginza, it brings to mind ‘The Neighborhood of Ginza’, edited by Japanese painter and essayist Shōhachi Kimura. Just as with The Neighborhood of Ginza, Honma used Chuo-dori as his motif for this work. Beyond the element of night photography, he also replicated the book's design. Consequently, this volume became not only an homage to Ed Ruscha but also to Shohachi Kimura. It stands as a 21st-century interpretation, created through Honma's unique lens, of the art left behind by the great figures of the 20th century.
