Photobook "Photobook New World Tokyo Area" by Japanese photographer Shinzo Shimao and others. This book is the 12th issue (12 issues in total) of the photo douujinshi "number", which was published mainly by members of the Department of Imaging and Photography at Tokyo Zokei University, led by Shinzo Shimao and others in the 1970s. The initial members are Shinzo Shimao, Satoshi Seno, Toshihiro Nishihara, Toshio Kawashima, Hide Umezu, and Keitake Uetake. Except for some issues, it was basically no theme, and each issue was published with a different editorial manager. A number of works that continue to pursue the "meaning of photography" that is not bound by the conventional framework, such as "what is photography", "what is to see", and "what is to copy". In this issue, as the title suggests, snapshots taken by each person are recorded on the stage of "Tokyo / Tokyo". While including component elements, each person's individuality is fully felt while giving a sense of the 70's era, such as gray tone, timing framing, depiction of light and shadow, and blurry abstract expression. It is an interesting group of works to make you.
