In this book, Shigekazu Nagano, who was a representative photographer of postwar Japan, Naoyuki Kinoshita, a professor at the University of Tokyo who is famous as an art historian and photo historian, and Kotaro Iizawa, a photo critic, are in charge of the editorial committee. A 40-volume photographic collection of the ``Japanese Photographers Series'' that includes the representative works of 40 famous photographers who were active until the early 1970s after the war, plus a separate volume. Beginning with the portraits of Hikoma Ueno and others in the early days, VIVO's recent years, from pre-war emerging photography, pre-war and post-war news and journalism to nature and landscapes, and the rise of Japanese photography in the 1960s and 1970s. Masahisa Fukase, who is being re-evaluated, and Provoke, and the transition of photography over a century and a half are wonderfully condensed into a valuable collection of works. Focusing on a single photographer may be lacking in terms of concept, but by comparing the history of photography, the passage of time, and various styles that are unparalleled in the world, we can see what Japanese photographers have left behind. It is very wonderful in terms of being able to enjoy the trajectory and depth of Japanese photography. This is a series of works that I would like you to read and enjoy in various ways according to your taste and mood at that time.
