Photo book "1981 Kobe" by Jun Abe, one of Japan's leading photographers. Just like Gary Winogrand, one of America's leading street photographers, Abe is a master of snapshots who consistently uses the street as a motif and sticks to "pictures as photographs, a world that is only possible because of photographs". . He has the depth of his heart to captivate both professionals and amateurs, and he seems to have inherited the roots of Kansai photographers who enthusiastically created conceptual works, represented by Nakaji Yasui and Yasu Sugino in the past. I am also fascinated by the elements of mental scenery. This book was published in 2016 by Vacuum Press, which he presides over. Two photobooks, "1981 (top) and (bottom)", were published in the previous year, and contain snaps taken in various cities in 1981 when Abe graduated from visual arts. This is a collection of photographs taken in Kobe. It goes without saying that the snaps are skillful, but the moments captured casually and casually are full of indescribable depth of flavor. As you can see on the cover, the children appear with very good expressions.
