Toyoko Tokiwa, a pioneer of female photographers who was said to be a "cameraman in the red line area". After graduating from school, I worked as an announcer, but I was drawn to photography under the influence of amateur photographer and later husband Yasuhiro Okumura, and after studying at a photography group, I will work on creating works focusing on "women". In 1956, he held a solo exhibition on the theme of "working women", and among the colorful works such as shop girls, female professional wrestlers, sea maidens, nude fashion models, dancers, etc., the one that attracted the most attention was the "red line area". woman". At that time, ordinary people photographed prostitutes working in the Yukaku area of Maganecho, Yokohama, which was an inaccessible area, with a lens in their upper pocket. A group of works that capture the exotic streets and the lives of prostitutes was published the following year as a photo essay "Dangerous Poisonous Flowers" with his own records. A valuable book that describes the record as a female photographer and the present and future of working women through illustrations and texts. 3rd edition.
