A photo book by Katsumi Watanabe, one of Japan's leading photographers, "Kabukicho / Gang of Kabukicho (Fair Copy)''. He became interested in photography when he was a waiter at a newspaper company, and after studying studio photography at the Tojo Kaikan Photo Club after moving to Tokyo, he became free after being influenced by a senior photographer who was a sink photographer in Shinjuku. I bought an enlarger with a small retirement allowance and took a portrait for 200 yen per set of 3 while wandering around Shinjuku at night. Katsumi Watanabe, who endured hunger and cut costs, continued to photograph people such as tramps, mistresses, gay men, bad guys, and yakuza, and was fascinated by the theater of life woven by unique people, and continued to portray the drama of Shinjuku throughout his life. "A city where secret things surface and then surface and disappear like bubbles" "A city where something new is done in the shadows and soon comes out again" Such a strange and attractive, harsh And a gentle city, Shinjuku. This book is a collection of works published in a limited edition of 3000 at the exhibition held at Andrew Ross Gallery, which is famous as a photo gallery in 2006. A book that is fascinated by the editorial by Ross, who is also famous as a photography historian. (There is a large amount of binding damage)
