"Photography: The World of Eikoh Hosoe / Eikoh Hosoe Photographs 1951 1988 (Signed)" is a collection of works by Eikoh Hosoe (1933-2024), one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. He passed away last year at the age of 91, much to the regret of many. He was the mentor of Daido Moriyama, who continues to be active today, and left behind masterpieces that shine brilliantly in the history of Japanese photography, such as "Man and Woman" (1961), "Ordeal by Roses" (1963), and "Kamaitachi" (1969), in the 1960s, before Moriyama and Araki began to be active in the 1970s. He was a so-called superstar who became freelance immediately after graduating from a photography junior college, and continued his own creative activities from commercials without interruption, and also worked overseas from an early stage. In later years, he also devoted himself to guiding the younger generation at universities. This book is a collection of catalogue works published on the occasion of exhibitions held throughout Japan from 1988 to 1989. The book presents 200 original prints, tracing the photographer's career over several decades, with an introduction to each work and a detailed biography at the end .
