NIPPON (JAPAN)

Shomei Tomatsu
Shaken/1967/Japanese/H226×W195mm

This is Shomei Tomatsu's (1930-2012) second photo book, following “ NAGASAKI. Like “11:02 NAGASAKI,” this book was originally scheduled to be published by Shashin Doujinsha, but the company went bankrupt due to financial difficulties, and Shaken published the book almost at his own expense through Shaken, a publishing company established by Higashimatsu himself at short notice. The book is divided into 10 parts: “Blowhole,” “Osorezan,” “Asphalt,” “Landscape,” “Setomonono no Machi,” “Orimono no Machi,” “Ghost Town,” “Chindon,” “House,” and “Occupation,” with essays by Taro Yamamoto, Takahiko Okada, Tatsuo Fukushima, Mitsuharu Ito, Koji Taki, Yoshiro Ishido, and Arata Isozaki. It includes some of his early major works, from “The City of Setmono,” his substantial debut, to “Asphalt,” a series of photographs of urban landscapes. Among them, the “Occupation” series, which cut through the Americanization of Japan from a critical position, occupies an important place in the genealogy of his work.
