Hamaya began teaching himself photography from the age of 15 and became a freelance photographer in 1937. He gained recognition in the immediate aftermath of World War II and his work was subsequently included in Edward Steichen’s The Family of Man exhibition (1955) at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He is best known for works such as Yukiguni (Snow Country, 1956) and Ura Nihon (Japan’s Back Coast, 1957), humanist portrayals of the rites and rituals of daily life in rural Japan focusing on the inextricable relationship between people and their natural environment.

Encouraged by the success of 'Yukiguni' Hamaya chose a similar subject for his next book: A superb documentary of Japan's west coast - as opposed to its Pacific Coast. To say definitely, 'this is Japan' is to invite the wrong impression. However, I feel I can definitely say, 'this too is Japan'." A masterpiece (The British Museum).
