Description from the seller

The Eye That Records and Creates: 50 Years After the War

Signed, Eikoh Hosoe
Japan Photographers Association/1995/japanese/220*298*25

This book is the catalog published for the 1995 exhibition “The Eye That Documents and Creates: 50 Years After the War - A History of Contemporary Japanese Photography.” “At this milestone of 50 years since the war's end, we seek to explore—from the perspective of recording and creating, while keeping photography's future in view—how photographers engaged with this turbulent era and how the diverse expressions of photographers with unique values evolved alongside the changing times” (Keisuke Kumakiri, Executive Committee Chair). It further states: “Through the reality conveyed by the vast photographic works in this exhibition, the significance is profound indeed: to rescue the fading turmoil of the Showa era and the flashes of its spirit from the abyss of oblivion, enabling the current generation to confirm the nation's irreplaceable experiences, actions, and spiritual essence, thereby reviving memory.”
