Taka-chan and IA Dog's Journey to Japan is a photobook by Japan's leading photographer, Eikoh Hosoe. Together with Tomatsu Shomei, Narahara Ikko, and Ishimoto Yasuhiro, Eikoh Hosoe is one of the pioneers of the golden age of Japanese photography, active since the 1950s after the war. He is well known for his experimental avant-garde photographs such as Man and Woman and Ordeal by Roses, but he also produced works with completely different concepts in the 1960s. One of his works is Why, Mother, Why? (1965), which depicts the resilient life of a girl who has lost her mother, and the other is this book, published in 1967. This is a photo book that combines illustrations by Eikoh Hosoe with a fairy tale by American female writer Betty Jean Lifton about the great adventures of the dog Runcible and the girl Taka-chan. This book will captivate you with its multifaceted appeal as a photographer and its story full of humanity. (Included in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
