'Toshi fuukei zukan/City Landscapes Photo Book. 1964-1982' contains magazine works by Takuma NAKAHIRA. On display are his works published in major photography magazines between 1964 and 1982. An aid to understanding the golden age of Japanese photography.

Layer by layer, the book reveals the complex life of the Chechen capital. Chechen suicide bombers attack public places and Chechen police detain civilians for their involvement with the radical Islamic underground. Shortlisted for First Book Award 2017.

The reissue of 'Sacchin' contains photos of street children taken in 1964 by the young Nobuyoshi ARAKI. Who exactly these children are and where they play is irrelevant - the narrative moment in these photos lies in the nostalgia that this series evokes.
