This is a collection of works by Shoji Ueda, one of Japan's leading photographers. Every year, photobooks of Shoji Ueda are published by publishers both domestically and internationally, each based on a different concept, and he remains immensely popular. Not only photography professionals, but even amateurs like us are captivated by the beauty of his work, and its profound depth is undoubtedly its greatest appeal. On the other hand, because of his long career and the sheer volume of his work, there are many collections that only present fragments of his work, so many people may only understand a part of Shoji Ueda's charm and not know his multifaceted brilliance. This book is a "definitive collection" supervised by Ryuichi Kaneko and Kotaro Iizawa, both photography critics indispensable when discussing postwar Japanese photography. With a selection that emphasizes "first publication," the illustrations are presented chronologically and by series from the 1930s onward, and it includes works that are now rare, such as "Children's Calendar" and "Silent Memories," and contains many high-quality monochrome and color photographs. A highly recommended book. Comes with a shipping box.
