Getsuyosha

Getsuyosha is a Tokyo publisher specializing in humanities, social sciences, and art books — with titles by Daido Moriyama, Giorgio Agamben, and others available at Lokator100.

Tokyo Publisher of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Art Books

Getsuyosha is a Tokyo-based publisher whose catalogue spans humanities, social sciences, and art books. The press occupies a specific position in Japanese publishing: editorially focused, with a consistent interest in works that sit at the intersection of critical thought and visual culture.

Its author list reflects that range directly. Daido Moriyama — one of the central figures in postwar Japanese photography — appears alongside Giorgio Agamben, the Italian philosopher whose writing on law, politics, and bare life has been widely translated and discussed in critical theory circles. The two names mark opposite ends of the catalogue's scope: photographic and visual publications on one side, philosophy and social thought on the other. Moriyama titles available through Lokator100 are also listed in Photography & Photobooks.

Lokator100, operating from Germany, stocks Getsuyosha titles because they align directly with the shop's focus on photobooks, artist publications, and critical theory — areas where the publisher's output is substantive and not easily sourced elsewhere in Europe.
