Eikoh Hosoe: Pioneering Post-1945 Japanese Photography
This comprehensive volume, published to coincide with a major retrospective exhibition in Japan, will be the primary resource on Hosoe's oeuvre, edited, designed, and produced under the artist's direction and with the collaboration of internationally renowned curator and scholar Yasufumi Nakamori. This career‑defining publication not only features Hosoe's major photographic series but also reveals his lesser‑known collaborative works with writers, critics, dancers, and artists, including Yayoi Kusama, in portraiture and beyond. Additionally, the volume includes two newly‑commissioned essays offering new perspectives on Hosoe's oeuvre, alongside reprints of a selection of previously‑published seminal essays on Hosoe by a range of Japanese writers, including the novelist Yukio Mishima and the art critic Shuzo Takiguchi. As well as serving as a survey of Hosoe's work, this book uncovers the essential protagonists of Japanese art, photography, dance, and literature across the post‑1945 era.
