Volume 26 of Iwanami Shoten's series The Japanese Photographers, devoted to Yasuhiro Ishimoto, who trained in Chicago and brought Bauhaus design theory to Japan. Known for Katsura (the Katsura Imperial Villa), Chicago, Chicago, and his work on the Ise Shrine, Ishimoto photographed architecture, the city, and tradition with a geometric sense of composition and rigorous monochrome. The volume traces, through works and commentary, the achievement of an artist who rediscovered Japanese beauty from a vantage shuttling between Japan and the U.S. — essential for understanding the heights of modernist photography.
