"Hysteric Eleven" is a photo collection by Ichiro Kojima, one of Japan's leading photographers. Born in Aomori Prefecture, Ichiro Kojima is a legendary photographer who continued to photograph the Aomori climate. After serving in the military for three years, he began taking photographs in the early 1950s under the influence of his father, and worked as a photographer for only about 10 years until his death in 1964 at the young age of 39. After the end of the war, Kojima was hit by the largest air raid in the Tohoku region and saw his hometown of Aomori in ruins. He was overcome with a strong sense of despair, but when he went to "Tsugaru-no" to buy food, he was captivated by the beautiful nature and silently working farmers he saw, which prompted him to reflect on himself and find hope in life. After that, his photographs of the Aomori landscape, which he continued to take for four years, caught the eye of Yonosuke Natori, a pioneer of photojournalism, and in 1958 he held a solo exhibition in Tokyo. In 1963, he published his only collection of works during his lifetime, one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of Japanese photography, "Tsugaru <Poetry, Prose, and Photographs>". This book is one of the series of collections published by the collection brand Hysteric Glamour and edited by photographers Osamu Wataya and Michitaka Ota of Sokyusha. Limited to 800 copies (for promotional purposes).
