Suddenly is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Issei Suda. Issei Suda was one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, who passed away in March 2019. Born in 1940, he dominated the monthly issue of Camera Magazine with Nobuyoshi Araki, who was the same age as him, in the 1960s, and was a person that Araki had a high regard for. Behind the scenes of the postwar high-growth period, many cultures and customs were lost, and identities were collapsing, but Issei Suda captured the reality from a folkloric perspective. His magical depictions using 6x6 paper sometimes give the impression of an eerie and creepy otherworldly atmosphere, creating a unique worldview where the everyday and the extraordinary intersect. This book is a collection of recent works that were repeatedly reviewed and selected after the artist was infected with flesh-eating bacteria and was on the verge of death. The illustrations are truly impressive.
