Japanese Photobooks

Postwar and contemporary photobooks from Japan, from street photography and portraiture to landscape, memory and the everyday.

Postwar Positions and Contemporary Practice

This collection brings together photobooks from Japan spanning the postwar decades through to current independent publishing. The selection moves across street photography, portraiture, performance, landscape, private memory, and the observation of everyday life — with titles by Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Eikoh Hosoe, and Masahisa Fukase alongside work by Masao Yamamoto, Rinko Kawauchi, Seiji Kurata, Takashi Homma, and others active in more recent contexts.

Independent Publishing and Editorial Range

Alongside monographs from established imprints, the collection includes titles from smaller Japanese publishers whose output sits at the intersection of photography and artist publication. The selection is maintained with attention to both historical positions and work that extends or complicates the photobook form. Titles are held in stock and dispatched from Germany.
