A collection of photos by Katsumi Watanabe, a leading Japanese photographer, "HotDog Shinjuku 1999-2000 Katsumi Watanabe Photo Album". He became interested in photography during the service era of a newspaper company, studied studio photography at the Tojo Kaikan Photography Department after coming to Tokyo, and was later freed by the influence of a senior photographer in Shinjuku. I purchased a enlarger with a small retirement allowance, and shot a portrait for 200 yen per set of three while wandering through Shinjuku at night. Katsumi Watanabe has endured hunger, cut down on costs, and continued to capture people such as tramps, sexual prostitutes, gays, bad guys, and yakuza. "A town where secret things surface, and then surface and disappear like bubbles" "A town where something new is done in the shade and comes out soon again" Such strange and attractive, severe And a friendly city, Shinjuku. This book is composed of illustrations taken in the late 1990s, the latter half of Watanabe's activity. If you compare it with the illustrations and works from the early 60's and early 70's, you will be able to enjoy the transition of the Shinjuku era, including the appearance of Kogal.
