AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This volume, titled *Kodomotachi* (Children), is part of the prestigious **Nikon Salon Books** series (No. 2), published in **1976**.
It serves as a comprehensive collection of Domon’s most celebrated theme: the vitality, resilience, and everyday lives of Japanese children during the mid-20th century.

Ken Domon (1909–1990) is revered as the supreme master of Japanese realist photography.
He pioneered the "absolute non-staged snapshot" technique, believing in a direct, unflinching connection between the camera and the subject.

Ken Domon’s work is a cornerstone of modern Japanese photography.
While he is also famous for his later studies of ancient temples, his "Children" series remains his most emotionally resonant and socially significant contribution to the medium.
This Nikon Salon edition is a highly collectible retrospective of his street-level documentary mastery.

- Size: 30 x 21 x 1.5 cm
- Weight: 600 grams
