This book is a catalog published at the exhibition "Memory of the City-Yokosuka Traced by Photographs and Contemporary Art" held at the Yokosuka Museum of Art from spring to summer 2013. From the history of prospering as a military port, it seems that the scenery and sketches of the city were prohibited before the war, and the recorded photographs after the war spell out the city called "Yokosuka", but after the war it became an Americanization as a US military base. It was a unique environment. Kazuo Kitai went to Yokosuka to shoot a demonstration of a nuclear submarine calling at a port when he was a student, and the series was summarized as the first book "Resistance", Shomei Tomatsu recorded US military bases nationwide, and Zushi in the 1960s. Daido Moriyama, who lived in Japan, frequently went to Yokosuka to hone his photography skills. Then, Miyako Ishiuchi, who moved to Yokosuka from an early age in the 1970s, caught "Yokosuka" with a negative feeling and a feminine gaze, and it was made into a virgin work and summarized as a masterpiece "Zesshou, Yokosuka Story". .. While tracing the records carved by these great figures and the works of contemporary artists, we will discover the image of "Yokosuka" from the postwar period to the present.
