"Tsugaru" is a photo book by Japanese female photographer Masako Tomiya. Born in Aomori Prefecture in 1981, Masako Tomiya studied at the Department of Photography at Osaka University of Arts under Issei Suda, a leading Japanese photographer who taught at the same university. She then studied at the Graduate School of Tokyo College of Photography, and since 2010 has held solo exhibitions at the now-closed Zeit Photo Salon. Most recently, her second photo book has been released by Chose Commune, a French publisher that has published collections of works by Shoji Ueda and others. This book is the first photo book published in 2013, and is composed of works taken over the course of more than 10 years in the photographer's hometown of Tsugaru, Aomori. The book is full of the refined beauty of Ichiro Kojima, a famous photographer of "Tsugaru," and the strange and unique moments captured by Issei Suda. They share a common stance of lyrical writing about the local climate and culture, but this is a wonderful book that shows the photographer's originality in the soft and delicate perspective that only a woman can have, and the intimate heart that looks at her hometown with loving eyes.
