"The Last Cabaret (Signed for Previous Owner)" is a collection of works by Yang Seung-woo, a photographer originally from South Korea who is currently active in Japan. He came to Japan in 1996. After graduating from the Japan Institute of Photography and the Department of Photography, Faculty of Arts, Tokyo Polytechnic University, and completing his graduate studies at the same university's Graduate School of Arts, he has been working as a photographer based in Japan. Since 2000, he has been actively holding solo exhibitions at galleries in Japan, and his encounter with Mark Pearson, the owner of Zen Photo Gallery, led to the publication of his first book, "Shinjuku Lost Child," which won the 36th Domon Ken Award. Yang continued to frequent Shinjuku after that, and this book captures the last month before the closure of the cabaret "Rotary" in Kabukicho, thanks to the owner's acquaintance. There are not only young women but also many veteran hostesses, creating an otherworldly space that feels like a trip back to the Showa era. This vibrant color illustration depicts a final dance overflowing with humanity, human emotion, and love. Includes a commemorative signature .
