Eikoh Hosoe (born in 1933 in Yamagata) is one of the most influential Japanese photographers in the history of photography. This comprehensive volume will serve as the definitive resource on Hosoe’s work; it has been edited, designed, and produced under the artist’s direction and in collaboration with Yasufumi Nakamori, an internationally renowned curator and scholar.
This publication, which marks the beginning of a career, not only presents Hosoe’s major photographic series but also reveals his lesser-known collaborations with writers, critics, dancers, and artists—including Yayoi Kusama—in the realm of portraiture and beyond. In addition, the volume includes two newly commissioned essays offering fresh perspectives on Hosoe’s work, as well as reprints of a selection of seminal essays on Hosoe previously published by various Japanese writers, including novelist Yukio Mishima and art critic Shuzo Takiguchi. In addition to serving as an investigation into Hosoe’s work, this book highlights key figures in post-1945 Japanese art, photography, dance, and literature.
