"The Ship of Fools: Tokyo, 1986-1988" is a collection of photographs by leading Japanese photographer Suzuki Kiyoshi. Of the eight photobooks he published during his lifetime, all but one were self-published. Suzuki was an artist who maintained an extraordinary commitment to creating photobooks, disregarding commercial, technical, and time constraints, and even handled the editing and binding himself. Taking themes such as recollection, reverie, travel, and literature as his subject matter, Suzuki created conceptual works by meticulously editing exceptional snapshots into multilayered sequences. Suzuki's students included renowned photographers currently active, such as Kanemura Osamu, Hara Mikiko, and Yoshino Erika. This is Suzuki Kiyoshi's fifth collection and the only one not self-published. It is a compilation of his work, originally serialized in the magazine "Monthly Shokun!" for two years from 1986, with the addition of several Polaroid photos. These photographs of Tokyo at the end of the Showa era were shot with the constant question, "Is Tokyo a paradise? Are those who live there happy?" Suzuki's unique "incomprehensible" and "infinite expanse" are present in the color depictions and composition. Obi missing. Signed by the photographer .
