"Early Summer Nerves" is a photo collection by Kiyoshi Koishi, one of Japan's leading photographers. Along with Nakaji Yasui, Kiyoshi Koishi was one of the pioneers of the "new photography" movement in prewar Japan. Born in Osaka in 1908, Koishi grew up in a family of luxury goods merchants, and developed an interest in cameras from an early age. He got a job at Asanuma Shokai, a pioneering photographic materials company, and around the age of 20, he joined the Naniwa Photography Club, where Yasui, Bizan Ueda, and Koran Yoneya were also members. In the early 1930s, he distinguished himself at an exhibition in Naniwa, and this book, "Early Summer Nerves," is a treasure that has carved its name into the history of Japanese photography. It features an innovative cover design using silver metal plates. It also makes full use of new photography techniques such as high contrast, photograms, and photomontage. The highlight is an experimental work in which a glass plate of a close-up of a woman's eyes was broken and exposed directly onto photographic paper, and 10 plates including "Self-Gaze - Something that Comes Into My Eyes" which is synonymous with Koishi are included. This is a reprint of the original published in 2005 by Kokusho Kankokai in a limited edition of 600 copies, with an edition number. Comes with a separate volume.
