Google翻訳
A collection of works by Issei Suda, one of Japan's leading photographers, "78 (Unopened)". Born in 1940, there was a time in the 1960s when he and Nobuyoshi Araki, who were the same age, dominated the monthly camera magazine, and he seems to have been respected by Araki even at that time. Behind the high economic growth period after the war, many cultures and customs were being lost, and in a situation where identity was collapsing, Issei Suda portrayed the actual situation from a folklore perspective. The depiction, which can be said to be magical using 6x6, creates a unique worldview where the ordinary and the extraordinary intersect, sometimes making you feel the atmosphere of another world that is eerie and frightening. This book is a book published by French independent publisher "Chose Commune" and consists of unpublished illustrations taken in the early 1980s. The number of illustrations that Chose chose during his lifetime was "78", which matches the age of Suda who passed away at the age of "78", and is named as a tribute to the photographer. Brand new unopened.
