About“FUSHIKADEN:Complete Edition“
“Fushikaden was a series that was featured irregularly in eight installments between December 1975 and December 1977 in the monthly photography magazine Camera Mainichi. Later the pictures appeared again alongside previously published and unpublished works in the book Fushikaden(Asashi Sonorama,1978),which as a matter of course is out of print today.
HNow finally, after all those years, these photographs are being published once again, this time in the form of a complete edition including 38 items of that weren't in the original book. Marking a point in my career when I was finally at the start line at the ready to go, the series composed of photos shot in daily life situations and on the road in the Kanto and Tohoku areas is for me a deeply emotional affair, and at once a slightly embarrassing document of my youth that reveals just now little has changed.”
