"The Americans (Hardcover Japanese Edition)" is a photobook by renowned American photographer Robert Frank. It's a monumental work among 20th-century photobooks, repeatedly reprinted by numerous Western publishers, and it's no exaggeration to say it's the best-selling photobook of all time. Following Henri Cartier-Bresson's "The Decisive Moment" in the 1950s, Frank's America combines not only documentary elements and journalism, but also a personal perspective and free-spirited style, revealing an America we've never seen before, "new photography" we've never seen before, and a visionary approach that foresaw the era of the 1960s and beyond. The first edition, "Les Americains," was published by Delpire in France in 1958, followed by the US edition, "The Americans," in 1959. Since then, it has been reprinted many times, and this book was published by Takarajimasha in Japan in 1993. It is a photo book slightly larger than the current Steidl Edition and includes captions at the end of the pages. Hardcover edition.
