Volume 35 of Iwanami Shoten's 40-volume series The Japanese Photographers, devoted to Yutaka Takanashi, a leading figure of postwar Japanese photography. A co-founder of the photographic journal Provoke alongside Takuma Nakahira, Koji Taki and Takahiko Okada, Takanashi moved through the "grainy, blurry, out-of-focus" idiom toward a precise record of the city and the street; the volume traces his development through plates, chronology and commentary. An authoritative overview of a photographer who kept his eye on the city, in the lineage of Toward the City, Tokyo-jin and Machi.
