AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An important photobook by Kishin Shinoyama (1940–2024), one of Japan's most influential photographers.
Published in 1975, A Fine Day brings together photographs originally published in the Japanese magazine Asahi Graph beginning in 1974.
The book presents a vivid portrait of Japanese society in the 1970s, combining photographs of celebrities and public figures with images of ordinary people, landscapes, natural disasters and major social events.
Moving freely between portraiture, reportage and documentary photography, Shinoyama captures the contradictions and atmosphere of Japan during a period of rapid social and economic change.
A Fine Day is regarded as one of Shinoyama's major early photobooks and is featured in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990.
Edition and condition details:
Second printing. The original accompanying booklet, Hareta Hi o Megutte, is included. The original shipping box is not included.
CONDITION
The original clear plastic dust jacket shows age-related deterioration, shrinkage, and small tears. The book has some foxing on the top and fore edges of the text block, the endpapers, and a few pages. There is also a bookseller's sticker on one of the endpapers. Overall, the book is in very good condition.
SHIPPING
Shipped via EMS or DHL. Delivery is available within one week, with a tracking number provided.
Seller's Story
Totodo is a curated antiquarian bookstore based in Japan, dedicated to art books, photography, exhibition catalogues, artist publications, and rare out-of-print titles.
Rather than operating as a volume-driven reseller, we approach bookselling as a form of editorial practice. Each work is carefully selected for its artistic significance, historical context, and lasting relevance, with an emphasis on titles that have shaped visual culture and contemporary thought.
Drawing from decades of experience in the Japanese art book ecosystem, as well as relationships with collectors, estates, and specialized distributors, we are able to present material that is both culturally important and increasingly scarce in the international market.
We maintain rigorous standards for condition assessment and bibliographic accuracy, and every item is securely packaged for international shipment. Our aim is to provide collectors and institutions with thoughtfully chosen works, professional service, and complete transparency.
