Degree Zero-Yokohama is a collection of works by Japan's leading photographer, Takuma Nakahira. After working as a packer for transistor radios and a translator, Nakahira was a skilled editor of the magazine Gendai no Me. His comrades who led him into the world of photography were Shomei Tomatsu and Daido Moriyama. With Tomatsu's suggestion and guidance, a photogravure page was added to Gendai no Me. This was the opportunity for him to meet Yutaka Takanashi and others, and in the final issue, he published his photographs under the name "Akira Yuzuki." In 1964, Tomatsu arranged for the couple to get married, and Tomatsu gifted him a set of Asahi Pentax cameras. It was Daido Moriyama who taught Nakahira the basics of photography while he was wandering the streets with that camera in hand. The collaboration between the two later developed into Provoke, which is well known to have left its mark on the history of Japanese photography. This book contains a total of 110 photographs, from his early period in the late 1960s to his representative work "For the Words to Come," in black and white, to his color works up to the 2000s. This is enough to know the trajectory of Nakahira the photographer. Published in 2003, first edition.
