“BEST BEFORE”

Twelve years of commissioned works by photographer and filmmaker Yoshiyuki Okuyama.

Yoshiyuki Okuyama is one of the leading creatives in Japan today. Since his start in 2010 he has published and exhibited extensively as a photographer, winning the Kodansha Publishing Culture Award in Photography and the Canon New Cosmos of Photography Excellence Award; in recent years he has also been active as a director of many acclaimed music videos and television commercials.

This collection is the first to focus on the commissioned works that Okuyama has undertaken aside from his self-initiated projects in the twelve years of his career so far. The volume covers more than 400 photographs spread out over a hefty 500-plus pages, all picked by Okuyama himself. The astounding quantity and quality of those selections speak to his singular impact on and stature within the Japanese creative scene—included are collaborations with music artists Kenshi Yonezu, Gen Hoshino, Mr. Children, Radwimps, Aimyon, Masaharu Fukuyama, and Sakanaction; promotional images for Pocari Sweat, JR Skiski, NTT Docomo, and the Awaiting Kirin historical drama by NHK; projects with the magazines Vogue US, Ginza, Switch, and Hanatsubaki; and portraits of celebrity icons Suzu Hirose, Masaki Suda, Yurina Hirate, Nana Komatsu, and Tsubasa Honda.

To Be Bewitched by a Fox From her debut to a neve

To Be Bewitched by a Fox

From her debut to a never-before-published new project, a chronicle of Tomoko Sawada’s quarter-century-long artistic journey.

In 2000, Tomoko Sawada’s ID400—a series of 400 self-portraits, all different, taken at a public ID photo booth—marked her debut as an exciting new force in the world of photography. A winner of the Kimura Ihei Award and the ICP (International Center of Photography) Infinity Young Photographer Award in 2004, she has gone on to achieve international distinction through exhibitions around the world and publications including Omiai, School Days, Kawaii, Facial Signature, and a picture book about faces for children. This official catalogue to Sawada’s first-ever retrospective, To Be Bewitched by a Fox, at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum covers the major works of an artist who focuses on self-portraiture to continuously explore the links between appearance and internality.

"A Life with Pigs" Toshiteru Yamaji

Toshiteru Yamaji's work is his photograph records of Hiroshi Kamimura, a pig farmer who dedicated his life to the animals with a passion.

A father raising 1,200 pigs at a pig farm in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture. Pigs raised based on the belief of the father that "lovely raised pigs become pork that people feel delicious". The pig in the picture looks to be laughing. The joy of living together for a limited time.

Every life is shining in a muddy pig farm.

This is a long-awaited new issue containing unrecorded photos of the popular "Pigs and Papa" (2010, Foil) work.

“All about Saul Leiter”

An only-from-Japan exploration of the photographer’s art and philosophy.

Photography lovers the world over are now embracing Saul Leiter, who has enjoyed a remarkable revival since fading into relative obscurity in the 1980s. This collection takes a Japanese perspective into the secrets of his appeal, from his life philosophy and lyricism to masterful colors and compositions reminiscent of ukiyo-e.

Some two hundred works—including early street photographs, images for advertising, nudes, and paintings—cover Leiter’s career from the 1940s onward, accompanied by quotations from the artist himself that express his singular worldview.

Selected by artist Todd Hido as one of photo-eye online bookstore’s Best Books of 2017.
・
Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Pittsburgh. He pioneered a painterly approach to color photography in the 1940s and produced covers for fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar before largely withdrawing from public attention in the 1980s. The publication of his first collection, Early Color, by Steidl in 2006 inspired an avid “rediscovery” that has since led to worldwide exhibitions and the release of a documentary, In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter (2014).
