'CAMP 1979' by Keizo KITAJIMA documents the activities in the experimental space of the same name co-founded by Keizo KITAJIMA, Seiji KURATA & Daido MORIYAMA. Typical for his style is the coarse grain and very strong contrast and his choice of subjects.

Jin OHASHI is one of the most popular and important photographers in Japan today. This photo book, nominated for the Paris Photo Aperture Foundation Award 2013 is a fundamental work that reflects the life of an individual and not of society as a whole.

The photo booklet 'By the Sea' - a narrow and large-format - contains a collection of landscape photos that the OGAWA took during various stays on the Japanese coast in winter. In addition to works in b/w, like in 'Shimagatari', we see here works in color

'Yokohama Gorakuso' contains b/w architecture photos, but Miyako ISHIUCHI makes from them soul full portrait photographs of a building. A secret history of this building complex and in certain ways an answer to her first photo volume, 'Apartment' (1978).

This photo volume, 'Sentimental Journey 1971-2017' by Nobuyoshi ARAKI focuses on one theme of his extensive oeuvre: his wife Yoko. From their first meeting in 1968 until her death in 1990, she was his most important subject and essential to all his works.

The photo volume 'Sight' by Yoko ASAKAI contains portraits of people from all over the world watching a film at home. The relationship between looking and being looked at is explored. The concentrated-portrait subjects seem to be unaware of the camera.
