Takeji Iwamiya is a leading figure in the postwar Kansai photography world. His pupils include Seiryu Inoue, a leading Kansai photographer known for “Kamagasaki” and “Amami,” who was assisted by Daido Moriyama in the past, and Yasushi Sugino, who left behind a masterpiece, “Kokkakukei” (Landscape of the Heart), which has left its mark in Japanese photography history, despite his limited output. His masterpiece is the “Katachi” series, which depicts the functional and traditional beauty of Japan.
