4. The Beauty of Japan

Ken Domon (1909–1990) is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in postwar Japanese photography. He pioneered the country's realistic photography movement (Riarizumu Shashin Undō), championing "absolute unstaged snapshots" to capture the unvarnished social truth of mid-20th-century Japan.
