"By his own admission Yasuhiro Ishimoto always considered himself something of an outsider in Japan. Although he took Japanese citizenship in 1969, the work he chose to publish in that momentous year for Japanese photography concentrated on pictures taken in the United States. At a time when most of the leading Japanese photographers were actively caught up in their country's volatile political situation, Ishimoto seems deliberately to have maintained his distance, declaring his independence with a body of work that was different in both style and approach from either the existential excesses of the Provoke school, or the baroque theatricality of Eikoh Hosoe. Chicago, Chicago confirms this singularity and the promise shown in his earlier Aruhi Arutokoro (Someday, Somewhere). The later book demonstrates a photographer influenced by both Japanese and American sources and adopting neither wholeheartedly - a position that is both his strength and his weakness. It is arguably more completely realized, thematically tighter, than Aruhi Arutokoro, and yet the earlier work was fresh and new, a surprise. ... If the portraits and street-life images win out, it is because people are more interesting than things, and the photographer himself is more challenged by people, less prone to exercising merely formal concerns, though no Ishimoto image is ever less than elegant."
