This photo collection features Japanese photographer Akira Sato, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, known for his avant-garde and conceptual photography from the 1960s to the 1970s. Born into a blanket wholesaler in Azabu, Tokyo, Sato grew up surrounded by foreign countries from an early age and engrossed in foreign magazines while studying at Yokohama National University. In 1959, he formed the group VIVO with Ikko Narahara and Shomei Tomatsu, and in 1966 won the Photo Critics Association of Japan Award. Sato's creative talent was so profound that renowned critic Shinya Yoshimura remarked, "Even so, nothing is more distant from words than his photographs," and Shoji Yamagishi even commented that he struggled with the titles and descriptions of Sato's works. This is the seventh volume in the "Contemporary Images" series, published in the early 1970s. It features sections on his signature works, "Cyclopian," "Woman," and "Cold Sunset," featuring Kyoko Enami. This is a magnificent book brimming with delicate delicacy and sublime elegance. Comes with obi. Signed by the photographer . (Included in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
