"80's Family Street Photo Random Japan (Signed)" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Seiji Kurata. Kurata was one of the first students of the legendary "Workshop Photography School," founded by leading post-war Japanese photographers such as Shomei Tomatsu, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Daido Moriyama. He majored in oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts and worked as an art teacher, becoming an unconventional photographer who started taking pictures in his late twenties. He made a sensational debut with "Flash Up," in which he wandered around Ikebukuro and Shinjuku, vividly capturing outlaws such as gays, yakuza, biker gangs, and sex workers with intense strobe lighting, winning the 5th Kimura Ihei Award. His style, which depicts a unique aesthetic sense within vulgar and provocative images, has been highly acclaimed. This book is a collection of works published in 1991, tracing the trajectory of photographer Seiji Kurata over the decade of the 1980s. The violent aspects seen in the late 1970s have receded, and ordinary, everyday scenes are depicted, but in addition to the objects considered as subjects, another uncertain element that feels mysterious and sometimes even bizarre is captured. Seiji Kurata's social landscape. Dust jacket missing.
