"Signed" is a photo collection by world-renowned Japanese photographer Shoji Ueda. While many postwar photographers traveled the globe, Shoji Ueda regarded his hometown of Tottori as his lifelong home, incorporating the local climate, customs, and culture while exploring avant-garde photographic expression. His work, rich in light-hearted Japanese emotion and originality, features modern illustrations that remain relevant today, earning him the nickname "UEDA-CHO" and earning him worldwide acclaim. This book is a collection of his works, privately published in 1986. After losing his beloved wife and partner, Norie, in 1983, Ueda was at a loss and unable to take photographs for a long time. It was during this time that he was inspired by the release of 35mm film by Polaroid, and began to capture his delicate, fleeting, and introspective emotions in his photographs. This invaluable photo collection marked a turning point for Shoji Ueda, as he discovered a new direction as a photographer. Complete set of 62 plates. Limited to 1000 copies. Edition numbered. Signed by the photographer .
