Volume 12 of Iwanami Shoten's series The Japanese Photographers, devoted to Masao Horino, a leading figure of the early Showa era. A practitioner of the "new photography" and reportage who worked with the critic Takaho Itagaki, Horino is known for Camera, Eye × Steel, Composition, building images of machines, bridges, and the city from montage and close-ups. The volume surveys this pioneer of 1930s Japanese photography — who joined avant-garde visual experiment to a documentary impulse — through works, chronology, and commentary.
