After the famous photography exhibition organized by Tatsuo Fukushima in 1957, Tomatsu Eihoh Hosoe and Ikko Narahara formed the "Vivo" photographic cooperative in 1959. Others soon joined and worked together in a single office in Eat Tokyo for two years. While the association was short lived, its impact on Japanese photography continues to be felt to this day. Through Vivo and his continuing work for many years thereafter, Tomatsu's name will forever be linked to the development of modern Japanese photography..

HIROSHIMA - NAGASAKI DOCUMENT 1961

Tokyo, The Japan Council Against the A and H Bombs., 1961, First Edition. Decorative Cloth + Wrappers, Large Square 4to, np + 54pp, profusely illustrated in duotone. Text in English. Designed by Kohei Sugiura. In protective clear acetate dustwrappers. This is Ken Domon and Shomei Tomatsu's remarkable book of photographs reflecting the aftermath of the atomic bombs the US dropped on The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to hasten the end World War II. In addition to the gripping hardbound volume of images, it contains a second English language publication in wrappers reprinting scholarly articles by Kiyoshi Sakuma, Nobuo Kusano, Toshio Hata on the radiation and its effects. A serviceable example only of this remarkable Post-War Japanese photographic book lacking the publisher's slipcase, and whose primary volume's off-white exterior is browned along the spine, moderately soiled, and exhibits notable insect damage to the ink of its decorative design of concentric circles. Internally it is bright and sound, with the textblock lightly browned along the edges and pulling ever so slightly at the signatures. The paper text volume shows some overall wear, light browning and soiling to the covers and edges, cracking along the spine, and a small closed tear to the foredge corner of the front cover. It has been priced accordingly.

SHOMEI TOMATSU: I AM A KING

Tokyo, JAPAN, Dai Nippon Printing Company., 1972, First Edition. Wrappers in Pictorial Jacket, Small 4to, 269pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. In the late '60s/early '70s Japanese photography pantheon, Shomei Tomatsu ranked with Eikoh Hosoe, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Daido Moriyama in terms of innovatively discarding the binding ethos of the "Decisive Moment" while reflecting the chaos and decay of the new Japanese landscape. In 1972, at forty-two years of age, as arguably the nation's most influential photographer Tomatsu moved to Okinawa and published "I am a king" - his magnum opus of the period. Gathered here are various bodies of work; portraits of politicians, the protests of the sixties, roadside images, industrial detritus, the urban skyline, the Americanization of Post-War Japan, etc. A most handsome copy of this gem (cited on page 212 of "From Fair to Fine: 20th Century Photography Books That Matter") showing only a trace of sunning and a small wrinkle to the spine of the dust jacket, with the publisher's bookmark and photography catalogue still laid in. Also present is its printed cardboard slipcase, which is somewhat rubbed, chipped, and browned.
