This book is a collection of works "Japanese Photography History 1945-2007 / Japanese Photography Since 1945" published by Lena Fritsch, who worked as a curator at overseas museums and museums. Since the 1990s, many exhibitions of Japanese photographers have been held, mainly by Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama, but there are still few exhibitions and books that summarize the history and roots of Japanese photography. It is also a valuable book. Pre-war avant-garde and journalism, post-war new expressions and depictions by Ikko Narahara and Shomei Tomatsu, Provoke and I-shashin, which were more intensely, intensely and interestingly tackled as if in response to them, and contemporary art since the 1980s. From large-scale photographs that are reminiscent of the 1990s to girly photo booms from the 90s, to contemporary photographs from the 21st century onwards, the contents are summarized together with images and texts. Rena's interviews with Araki/Moriyama, Kikuji Kawada/Kazumasa Suda, Yurie Nagashima/Tomoko Sawada and others are also included, making this a worthwhile read.
