He rose to fame in the 1950s shaping a style of photography that later became defined as 'Realism' which insisted that photography should be entirely un-staged. His unique style of snapshot photography focused on the social conditions of post-war Japanese society. The present set of images show the daily life of Masuda Kozo (1918-1991) a celebrity in the world of Japanese chess, called Shogi. He rose to the rank of 9th dan in 1958, an achievement which has not been repeated. To put it simply, he was stellar, the equivalent to Kasparov in Western chess. Kozo was also a bit of a character: He was a heavy drinker and could smoke 300 cigarettes per day. A commentator once observed that the genius of his play was matched by the way he arranged his cigarette buds in an ashtray to form a perfect flower. Kozo also seems to have been quite single-minded: He ran away from home aged 13 with the aim of becoming the best shogi player in Japan. After spending a some time as a cleaner and working in restaurants he finally got an apprenticeship with a Shogi master in Osaka. He reached the first dan in 1934. He was drafted into the army in 1939 and in 1944 was posted on one of the small islands in Micronesia which got cut off from food supplies by US forces. He barely managed to survive but when he returned to Japan at the end of the war he re-entered the world of Shogi with renewed vigour. His style was characterised by his ability to innovate, as well as his unconventionality. When Domon was asked to do a photo-reportage on him for publication in Taiyo magazine he used his classic style of black-and-white snapshots that seem to flow naturally out of the camera. He records him at home, chatting to neighbours, smoking on the veranda, cycling, as well as during Shogi and Go tournaments, all the while seeming to be unaware of the presence of the camera. The set includes two remarkable portrait of Domon Ken while at work during the photo-shoot.…

Softcover. Zustand: g to vg. First edition. Domon's work was defined by many as "Social Realism", although when asked he said his work was in fact "Socialist Realism".

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Zustand: Bueno. 1ª Edición. 'Ken Domon is widely regarded as Japan's leading photographer of the immediate post-war years: He worked in the classic photojournalistic mode, seeking to document Japanese life in the troubled aftermath of the war. During the 1950s, at a time when the rest of the Japanese economy was beginning to recover to prewar levels, the coal-mining areas of Chikuho and Kitakyushu, in the far south of Japan, suffered both from a population exodus and pit closures. Domon documented the effects of this drastic decline on the miners and their families in [these] two books. Both look at the plight of the district's children.…

First and only edition. Numerous photographic plates. Japanese text. Original boards in plastic dust-jacket, and decorated slipcase (slightly stained, small dent to lower right corner), still a very good copy signed & stamped by the photographer on title. 160pp. Nagoya, Privately Printed, Usui Kaoru was born in Nagoya in 1916. He took up photography around 1933 as an amateur. From the 1930s to the 1950s Usui set up a series of amateur photography groups in Nagoya. One of these was Shu-dan 35, whose members included the young Tomatsu Shomei. Between 1950 and 1955 Usui won the annual Camera Magazine award three times, and his work was highly praised by Ken Domon. Usui's work encompassed a wide variety of styles and he was influenced by the realism of Domon Ken as well as the surrealism of Ueda Shoji, and possibly Yasui Nakaji. The present book is devided into two parts, namely the period of ARS Camera and the period of Photo Art, two publications to which he was a regular contributor. The black-and-white images are both unconventional and artificial in the best sense. C.f. Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography: Nihon Shashinka Jiten - 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers.

Original colour lithograph wrappers, staple-bound, staples broken and some pages loosened, overall still a very good copy. 78pp. 8(supplement)pp. Tokyo, Kokusai Hodo Kogei,  NIPPON was a quarterly magazine which was launched in October 1934 and ran to 41 issues until September 1944. The editor in chief was Natori Yonosuke (1910-1962), who had just returned from in Germany where he had studied and worked for a number of years and been deeply impressed by German aspects of modernity, be it the arts and crafts movement of design, Bauhaus in architecture, or the trend of 'Neue Sachlichkeit' in photography. He was employed by the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung (owned by Ullstein) who sent him back to Japan to supply a photographic archive on life in Japan. Once there he was informed that they could not employ non-Aryan staff, but being wealthy himself he decided to found his own publishing house Nihon Kobo. Nippon was published in English, German, French and Spanish and thus aimed at a foreign readership. Initially it was financed by advertisers but soon Kokusai Bunka Shinkokai, who were affiliated to the Foreign ministry (gaimu-sho), provided financial backing. The aim was to improve Japan's standing internationally, following its withdrawal from the League of Nations in 1933. It was a tour-de-force in terms of style, format and layout, focussing on modern lifestyle, architecture, and design, portraying Japan as technically advanced country that was both attractive, modern and prosperous. Issues of the magazine are hard to find in good condition. Includes essays on Japanese classical dance, Relations between Japan and Indo-China, a photo-essay on 'Doctresses in Embryo', and an essay in memory of Rabindranath Tagore. …
