"Carnaval (Hardcover)" is a collection of works by Takashi Shinsho, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. He spent his childhood (during the war) in Manchuria and, after graduating from what is now Musashino Art University in 1960, worked as a designer. However, thanks to his connection with Shoji Yamagishi, editor-in-chief of Camera Mainichi, he switched to photography in the 1970s. From 1973 to 1976, he worked as a correspondent for Bunka Publishing Bureau in Paris, handling fashion photography. While the 1970s were filled with glamorous works, in the 1980s, after reuniting with his parents, from whom he had been separated in Manchuria, he began to desire to deeply engage with the feelings of people who were far from their homeland, Japan, for a long time. He interviewed Japanese immigrants in South America and Hawaii, as well as Japanese orphans left behind in China. This series of interviews was compiled in 1986 as "A Distant Homeland," which won the Domon Ken Prize. This book is composed of color illustrations taken in Brazil, with carnivals and other themes as its central motif. The book is supervised and has a preface by Shoji Yamagishi. Please note that this is the hardcover edition published by Hokuto Kikaku (a softcover edition is also available from Canon Club; the content is the same).
