A collection of works by Japanese photographer Koji Morioka (1914-1991), "Tokyo Modern 1930-1940". Born in Tokyo Shiba, he became an assistant to the research institute of Hachiro Suzuki, a famous photographer and photograph editor and researcher in 1935, and joined the publishing company Ars in the following year. Therefore, I am in charge of editing camera magazines such as "Camera Club" and "Photo Culture", and during the war I am also an editor of "Toa Gaho". After the war, he worked as a freelance photographer while performing photography-related writing activities and publishing photography techniques and instruction books. We received the Japan Photographic Society Annual Award for "Tokyo in Memories," which was published in 1972 and is a collection of post-war cityscapes, customs, and culture. After that, I will leave works that are set in Ginza, Musashino, etc., but this is a book compiled in the illustration of "Tokyo" shot in 1930-40. Along with Koshio Kuwahara and others, it is a valuable collection of records of Tokyo before the war, and there are many works fascinated by the sense of snap and the tone of monochrome.
