"1981〈Top〉〈Bottom〉" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Jun Abe. Daido Moriyama once said in an interview, "The street snapshots I have taken so far are meaningless unless I take an overwhelming amount of them. One of my thoughts about snapshots is that there is no quality without quantity. That is my thesis. I think it is a truth that quality can only be ensured by taking a large amount of them." Jun Abe embodies this statement. Since the 1980s, he has been consistently committed to street snapshots, and his collections of works, which he has published, show his strong will to stick to this style. This collection of works is made up of snapshots he took in Osaka, Akashi, Himeji, Hiroshima, Tokyo, and other places in 1981, when he graduated from Visual Arts. It is a book from the photographer's early days, when he was full of youthful energy and felt the joy of taking photos and blending into the city.
