"ONE" is a photo book by Ken O'Hara, one of Japan's leading photographers. Born in 1942, after dropping out of Nihon University, he moved to the United States in 1987 and moved to New York to study photography with Richard Avedon and Hiro Wakabayashi at the Art Students League of New York. Ohara then embarked on a unique project that would later make his name in the photography world. Take portraits of people living in New York and its suburbs, cut them out with extreme close-ups, and lay them out in parallel. This project was published in 1970 as this book "ONE". Although it is a unique and same species of human being, it gives a bird's-eye view of the differences in eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers, skin color, etc. When you look at it, you will notice that it is a wide variety of creatures. This "Human Encyclopedia" received a great deal of attention in the United States and was introduced at an exhibition held at MoMA in 1974, after which Ohara was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship. 1970, first edition.
