Ginza Tokyo 1964 (With Postcard) is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Ko Ito. This book was published by Morioka Shoten in Ginza, Tokyo. Ito was born in 1943 and passed away in 2015. He was born in Osaka, graduated from Tokyo College of Photography, and worked there before becoming a freelance photographer. He continued for nearly 10 years, but then moved to Mashiko, a town of pottery, and became a potter in 1980. The year 1964 was the year the Tokyo Olympics were held, and Japan's social and economic recovery in the 20 years since the end of the war was appealed to the world. On the other hand, the scars of the war were still visible everywhere, and Ginza had a chaotic appearance where the urban side and the postwar backside were mixed. This is a valuable collection of works that captures the city of Ginza in the 1960s from a journalistic perspective and a perspective that gives a glimpse into the artistic sense of Shomei Tomatsu. Postcard included.
