Photograph collection "Prague / Praha" by Akira Sato (1930-2002), a photographer representing Japan after the war. Born in Azabu, Tokyo, in a blanket wholesaler, he grew up in an environment where foreign countries were familiar from an early age. In 1959, he formed VIVO with Ikko Narahara and Shomei Tomatsu, and in 1966 won the Photo Critics Association Award. It was so creative that the famous critic Shinya Yoshimura said, ``Even so, nothing is as far from words as his photographs.'' was an artist. "Woman / Woman" published by Chuokoronsha in the early 70's is famous as a representative work, but this is a book composed of illustrations taken in Prague, Czech Republic in the last years. Historical buildings and atmosphere are part of it, and there are many images that are typical of Sato, with many snapshots and modern nudes.
