"Woman (With OBI)" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Akira Sato. Sato is one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, creating avant-garde, conceptual photographs from the 1960s to the 1970s. Born into a blanket wholesaler in Azabu, Tokyo, Sato grew up surrounded by foreign countries from an early age. He devoured foreign magazines while studying at Yokohama National University. In 1959, he formed the group VIVO with Ikko Narahara and Shomei Tomatsu, and in 1966, he won the Photo Critics Association of Japan Award. Sato's creativity was so profound that renowned critic Shinya Yoshimura remarked, "Even so, nothing is more distant from words than his photographs," and Shoji Yamagishi even said he struggled with the titles and descriptions of Sato's works. This book is the seventh volume in the "Contemporary Images" series, published in the early 1970s. It is comprised of sections on his signature works, "Cyclopian," "Woman," and "Cold Sunset," featuring Kyoko Enami as a model. A wonderful book filled with delicate delicacy and sophisticated elegance. Comes with obi. (Included in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
