Description from the seller
"Kira Sugiyama (real name Yoshiro Sugiyama; 1910–1988) was a Japanese photographer born in Ito City, Shizuoka, who specialized in photojournalism and n●de photography. Transitioning from a film cameraman to a photographer in 1934, he co-founded the Youth News Photography Research Association in 1938 and had his work featured in the ""Leaping Japan"" mural at the 1939 New York World's Fair. During the war, he served as a correspondent in China and at the Battle of Attu, and later gained post-war acclaim for his pioneering n●de works and international reportage from regions like the Amazon.
