Japanese photographer Isamu Morisawa's photo book "Karuizawa era 1947-1960". Isamu Morisawa was born in Yokohama in 1913. Before the war, he worked as a salesman at the Yokohama Cinema Studio and as a photographer for national policy films at Nichiei. An unknown photographer in the photography world who was doing party photography. This book is a collection of works published by Sokyusha under the plan of photographer Ken Morisawa, the grandson of Isamu Morisawa. A cardboard box with "Karuizawa era" written on it that I found by chance in the storage room of my parents' house. When the negatives that had been stored for a long time were printed, a number of beautiful illustrations emerged. Snaps, portraits, still life, landscapes, a collection of elegant and affectionate works that fuse the good old Japanese landscape with modernism. Silent communication between a grandfather and grandson who have been connected for nearly 50 years. "Masterpiece photographs" by unknown photographers, "Human relationships" that transcend time, and the meaning of "time" through "photography"... An unknown masterpiece that makes you reconsider the splendor of photography and its meaning.
