"Japanese" is a collection of works by Cecil Beaton (1904-1980), a British photographer and writer who was active in a wide range of fields, including stage and costume design. "Classic" and "elegant". Beaton, who is a perfect fit for such words, has overturned the conventional sense of fashion since before the war with his unique aesthetics and sophisticated style. Furthermore, as the official photographer of the British royal family, he produced portraits of cultural icons such as numerous royals and celebrities. Through these, he was also a pioneer in conveying the atmosphere and aesthetic sense of the times. This is a collection of works published in 1959 on the theme of "Japanese". From the colorful depiction of a woman in a kimono on the cover to actors, maiko, farmers and craftsmen, and even street snapshots, it is a book that is typical of Beaton, introducing Japanese people from a variety of perspectives and in a variety of ways of expression.
