Yanagisawa Shin Tracks of the City - 柳沢 信 - 都市の軌跡, Asahi Sonorama, 1978, Tokyo

 

Hardcover with dustjacket, 

"Shin Yanagisawa was born 1936, in Tokyo. He was part of the outstanding generation of Japanese photographers from the 1960s and 1970s. This generation shaped our ideas and impressions with a new photographic view of contemporary Japan as a country between tradition and the modern era – even until today.  After studying at the famous Tokyo College of Photography in Shibuya, Yanagisawa started working as a freelance photographer. He became engaged in subjects of the landscape and their changes, the roughness of nature and the urban reality of big cities.
With his camera he bore down upon life itself, showed backstage-eroticism in a night club; and traced with his camera a winter love, of which we only can assume, was unique to him. Yanagisawa’s series Traces of the City 1965 – 1970 (title of his only bigger, long time out of print book) reflects the feelings of a whole generation. This series was exhibited in a one-man show in Tokyo 1979. Beside of that, Yanagisawa took part in numerous group exhibitions, e.g. the important 15 Photographers Exhibition at Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art." (Only Photography)
