Nakaji Yasui 1903-1942 (Softcover), a photo book of Nakaji Yasui, one of Japan's leading photographers. Nakaji Yasui is a photographer who represents not only the prewar Kansai photography world but also the modernist photography movement of the 1930s called "emerging photography". Born in Osaka in 1903, he joined the amateur photographer group "Nanka Photo Club" and released a series of colorful and experimental works that went far beyond the photographic expression of the same period, and later became the Tampei Photo Club. As a member, he was also engaged in avant-garde creative activities, but he is a legendary photographer who died at the young age of 38 due to renal failure in 1942. Daido Moriyama has been so respected that he published a photo book "Journey to Nakaji" with a homage to Nakaji Yasui, and described it as "the father of modern Japanese photography". This book is a collection of works published at the exhibitions held at the Shoto Museum of Art in Shibuya Ward and the Nagoya City Museum of Art from 2004 to 2005, and is a large book that summarizes the whole picture of Yasui's career over 300 pages. Both English and Japanese. Soft cover version.
