A collection of works by Shigekazu Nagano (1925-2019), one of Japan's leading photographers. Under Yonosuke Natori, he was in charge of about 60 photo shoots as a staff member of "Iwanami Shashin Bunko" before becoming a freelance photographer. . Although he established himself as a photojournalist, he later shifted his focus to the world of commercials such as movies and TV commercials, and the number of his own works has decreased. However, in the 1980s, he began wandering the streets of Tokyo with his camera in hand again, photographing serious and humorous patterns unique to urban spaces. This series of works was published in the collection Distant Gaze (1992), which won the 11th Ina Nobuo Award. This book also contains snaps set in "Tokyo" taken in the 80's and 90's. This is a book filled with the fun of "city snaps" that is irresistible for those who like works like Jun Abe, who continues to take snaps based in Kansai.
