"MORE THAN ONE WORLD: New Japanese Photography 50 Years On" is a research book that re-examines the history of international perspectives on Japanese photography. Compiled to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic "New Japanese Photography" exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1974, this book comprehensively examines how the image of "Japanese photography" formed by Daido Moriyama, Takuma Nakahira, Shomei Tomatsu, and others has been received and discussed overseas. Inheriting the words of John Szarkowski, who was the director of photography at MoMA at the time, "More than one world," this book broadens its perspective to peripheral areas that could not be captured by existing photographic history alone, traversing multi-layered themes such as magazine culture, publishing, gender, translation, and digital photography theory. Researchers and curators from Japan and abroad, including Yoshihiro Hayami and Sandra Phillips, as well as MoMA, SFMOMA, and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, participated in this ambitious attempt to reinterpret Japanese photography not as a fixed image, but as a dynamic culture where multiple perspectives intersect. Bilingual (English and Japanese).
