Its catalogue focuses on Japanese postwar and contemporary photography, producing artist books and monographs intended to reach audiences both within Japan and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe imprint approaches each publication as an art object in its own right — attending to binding, paper quality, layout, and editorial structure as integral to the work rather than incidental to it. Titles are produced in close collaboration with artists, often realising projects that had not previously been brought to completion. The result is a body of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/photography-photobooks\" title=\"Browse our curated photobook collection at Lokator100\"\u003ePhotobooks\u003c\/a\u003e and artist publications distinguished by material care and editorial precision. Print runs are typically limited, and the books function as primary documents of an artist's practice rather than retrospective catalogues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Lokator100 Stocks This Publisher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLokator100 is an independent bookstore based in Germany, selecting titles through sustained personal attention rather than market cycles. Akio Nagasawa Publishing's commitment to Japanese photography and fine art artist publications aligns directly with the shop's focus on photobooks and artist books held to a consistent editorial standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow We Ship \u0026amp; Describe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach listing includes accurate bibliographic information and edition details.

Where most issues follow the open, accumulative logic of street observation, this fiftieth volume concentrates entirely on a single subject: Yaco, a woman Moriyama met at the office of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/akio-nagasawa-publishing\" title=\"Browse all titles published by Akio Nagasawa Publishing\"\u003eAkio Nagasawa Publishing\u003c\/a\u003e in late 2021. That narrowing of focus is the defining fact of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sessions took place across two registers. Moriyama photographed Yaco outdoors in Ginza and Yurakucho, then continued indoors for a smaller number of nude studies. The shift between those two modes — the street-adjacent and the private — gives the book an internal tension that is unusual within the \u003cem\u003eRecord\u003c\/em\u003e sequence. The photographs retain the directness associated with Moriyama's practice, but the tempo is different: more deliberate, more concentrated on the exchange between photographer and subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoriyama came to prominence through his association with \u003cem\u003eProvoke\u003c\/em\u003e, the short-lived but consequential Japanese photography journal of the late 1960s, and his career has since moved through many formats and subjects. The \u003cem\u003eRecord\u003c\/em\u003e series, running since 1972, has always functioned as his most immediate outlet — closer to a notebook than a retrospective. \u003cem\u003eRecord No. 50\u003c\/em\u003e sits within that tradition while departing from it: the serial logic remains, but the subject is singular.
