A collection of works by Japanese photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto (1921-2012) "Hana (English Edition, No Slipcase)". "Journalism" is the mainstream of photography in the 1940s and 1950s. During this period that straddled the war, there are many works that are basically full of "humanity", such as a documentary that contains a lot of news elements such as Ken Domon and Ihei Kimura from the war and news journalism by Yonosuke Natori and others. However, I can imagine that the impact of Yasuhiro Ishimoto, who returned to Japan during that time, was considerable. Of course, there were few students who received design education like the Bauhaus, and there were not many photographers with a sharpened aesthetic sense who grasped the subject as "model", so in the 1950s "Katsura Imperial Villa" The impression given by the first book "One Day Somewhere" was great. This is a photo book composed of flower still life. Irving Penn's "Flowers" is a work that Ishimoto himself highly valued (also found on Ishimoto's home bookshelf), but there are many beautiful illustrations reminiscent of Penn. English edition. Missing slip case.
