TOMATSU (Shomei). Nagasaki (11:02). Tokyo, Shashin Dojinsha, - Lot 918
TOMATSU (Shomei). Nagasaki (11:02). Tokyo, Shashin Dojinsha, 1966, 8°, [168] pp., publisher’s illustrated cardboard binding, original slipcase annotated on the spine with a mark of ownership (spine and cover browned). Text exclusively in Japanese. First edition bearing the Ken-in, the red authentication stamp in the colophon. Published in 1966, this book radically redefined the way a historical event and a national trauma are documented. Through his oblique compositions, use of contrast, and conceptual approach, Tomatsu (1930–2012) directly paved the way for the next generation of Japanese photographers, notably Daido Moriyama and the artists of the Provoke movement. A rare and fine copy.
