A collection of photographs by Japan's leading photographer Katsumi Watanabe. He became interested in photography during the service era of a newspaper company, studied studio photography at the Tojo Kaikan Photography Department after coming to Tokyo, and was later freed by the influence of a senior photographer in Shinjuku. I bought a enlarger with a small retirement allowance and photographed a portrait at 200 yen for one set of 3 sheets while visiting Shinjuku at night. Katsumi Watanabe, who endured hunger and continued to shoot people such as vagrants, prostitutes, gays, bad guys, gangsters, etc. while fascinated by costs, attracted by the theater of life woven by unique people, and continued to describe the drama of Shinjuku throughout his life. "A town where secret things surface, and then surface and disappear like bubbles" "A town where something new is done in the shade and comes out soon again" Such strange and attractive, severe And Shinjuku, a friendly city. This book is a book composed of illustrations taken in the late 1990s, the latter part of Watanabe's activities. If you compare it with the illustrations and works from the early 60's and early 70's, you will be able to enjoy the transition of the Shinjuku era, including the appearance of Kogal. Signed by the photographer .
