A collection of works by Japanese photographer Tatsuo Kondo, "Photo Book Koboku". An amateur photographer born in Nagoya in 1916, he moved to Gifu when he got married. He has a close friendship with Japan's leading photographer Hiroshi Hamaya, and Hamaya describes Kondo's photos as follows. "What he likes to photograph is not the sun, the shade is dark, not the light, cloudy or rainy than the fine weather, and even the people of the festival, the sadness of what he shoots. It is very Japanese, when the subject is selected, interpreted, and when the picture is enlarged, it is very Japanese, good or bad, no matter how much the Japanese try to shake off. I see that it is neither figurative nor concrete, and the picture of Kondo, a Japanese image, is nothing but the expression of a Japanese image. " This book is composed of illustrations taken in the northern part of Lake Biwa (East) in the northern part of the lake, and many of the works that were probably influenced by Hamaya's masterpiece "Back Japan". This book is fascinated by the deep monochrome by Gravure Seiko.
