A striking chronicle of urban life through the uncompromising lens of Keizō Kitajima, this exhibition catalogue accompanied his 2009 solo show at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Spanning Koza, Tokyo, New York, Eastern Europe, and the Soviet Union, the volume captures Kitajima’s evolution from monochrome street documentary to saturated color portraiture. A key figure in the ‘are-bure-boke’ movement—defined by its grainy, blurred, and raw aesthetic—Kitajima redefined postwar street photography with fearless immediacy. A landmark publication for collectors of Japanese photography and radical documentary expression.
