"Sakura Sakura Sakura 120 (Signed)" is a photo collection by Tomatsu Shomei, one of Japan's leading photographers. Tomatsu Shomei, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, has always maintained a high level of awareness and an insatiable spirit of inquiry, seeking to capture the essence of Japan and the Japanese people through his work, which has centered on the wounds of wartime survivors in Nagasaki, Okinawa, and other places, his sharp critique of civilization and politics, and his questioning of humanity's involvement in nature and materials. Tomatsu published numerous masterpieces from the 1960s and 1970s, including "<11:02> NAGASAKI," "Oh! Shinjuku," "Japan," "I am a king," and "Pencil of the Sun." This book is a unique collection of works based on the motif of "sakura," published in 1990. The following is an excerpt from a text by world-renowned art director Ishioka Eiko: "If '11:02 NAGASAKI' is the photograph that symbolizes the black side of Shomei-sama, then is it too childish and simplistic of my thinking to think that Sakura is the very symbol of his white side?" Also includes texts by Ito Shunji, Oshima Nagisa, and others. Book design by Suzuki Kazushi. Signed . (A simplified version, Sakura Sakura Sakura 66, has also been published.)
