"1960/80" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Fusako Kodama, who has captured postwar Japanese society and its people with her unpretentious gaze and unerring sense of composition. Beginning in the 1950s, she has captured the atmosphere of each era in her photographs, effortlessly moving between urban and rural, everyday life and ritual, and individuals and groups. This book brings together photographs taken across Japan from the 1960s to the 1980s. The monochrome images capture the transition from the period of rapid economic growth to maturity. While each photograph possesses a different rhythm—people passing through alleyways, the excitement of festivals, quiet seaside scenes, and industrial landscapes—they consistently convey a sense of intimacy and warmth with their subjects. Her method of depicting the contours of an era through casual moments is both documentary and poetic.
