Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and '70s

Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and '70s presents forty definitive publications from a pivotal era in Japanese photography. The book explores how the photobook, through excellence in design, printing, and materials, became a popular mode of artistic expression that transcended traditional prints. It pieces together an otherwise invisible history of these works, which were often unknown outside Japan until recently. Featuring many black and white reproductions with some color illustrations, the publication includes an interview with Daido Moriyama and serves as an essential reference for collectors and scholars of Japanese art history.
