Kojima Ichiro Photographs Ichiro Kojima

*Available only in Europe

A summational collection of Ichiro Kojima (1924-1964), a photographer who lived in Aomori and kept photographing the land of the north (inscript). He dramatically rendered the snowfields of Tsugaru and Shimokita, and the people who worked and lived there, in strong-toned monochrome built through extensive dodging. Centered on the key works he left in a life of only forty years and edited drawing on research by the Aomori Museum of Art, this definitive volume conveys the high point of a lyrical documentary that arose from the provinces of postwar Japan. The book that secured the reappraisal of a photographer little known in his own lifetime.
