Photographer Shomei Tomatsu's photobook “Nagasaki Mandala”.

Shomei Tomatsu stands alongside Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Kazutaka Narahara, and Eikoh Hosoe as one of the leading photographers representing post-war Japan.

Born in Aichi Prefecture, Tomatsu spent his youth in the post-war period when American Allied forces were everywhere. He became fixated on “America” and “war”, and a strong rebellious spirit and obsession with the “occupation” form the core of Tomatsu's photography.

Consequently, he turned his gaze to regions like Okinawa and Nagasaki, relocating to these places himself and pursuing the “shadows of war” for many years.
This volume is a collection of works published for an exhibition held at the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum of Art in 2000.

Though a catalogue, it is a substantial work containing minimal text and a total of 304 monochrome and colour plates.

It documents Nagasaki through the lens of Shomei Tomatsu, who first visited the city in 1961, fifteen years after the atomic bombing, and continued photographing it for over thirty years thereafter. The trajectory of this great photographer, embodying criticality, social consciousness, and artistic excellence, etches into its pages undeniable facts we must never forget.
