Kanendo Watanabe is a Japanese photographer known for his black-and-white images that depict urban environments and material things with a quiet, matter-of-fact style. His work has been described as having an enigmatic quality, capturing the 'cracks and holes through which the extraordinary seeps' into everyday life. He was influenced by the minimalist aesthetics of photographers like Eugène Atget and is often compared to the New Topographics movement for his spare, unique approach to landscape and urban photography.[1,3,4,5]
