Japanese photographer Takeyoshi Tanuma's photo book "Shitamachi, Old Town ... the Tokyo of Yesterday (Signed)". Born in 1929. After graduating from Tokyo Polytechnic University (currently Tokyo Polytechnic University), he joined "Sun News Photos" where Yonosuke Natori and Ihei Kimura were enrolled, and Takeyoshi Tanuma began his career as a photographer from Kimura's assistant. .. As a commission of Shinchosha, he shot many portraits of literary artists and artists, and attracted attention in his 1954 solo exhibition "The Face of an Artist". In 1965, he signed a contract with Time Life in the United States and was active in the field of photojournalism, and tried to express the times by shooting children around the world. This book is a collection of photographs of cultural figures and children, as well as the scenery of downtown Tokyo, which Tanuma has made his life work. Including Asakusa, where he was born and raised, there are scenes from the 20's to 30's of the Showa era. At the end of the book, Akira Yoshimura, a writer who was also born in Shitamachi, said that Tanuma's photographs do not exaggerate the character of Shitamachi and that he "does not have a mischievous feeling", but he captures the subtleties of Shitamachi in his undecorated daily life. This is just one book. Signed by a well-known photographer .
