Shin YANAGISAWA

Yanagisawa started his career as a photographer with his portfolio "Untitled Youth" which was published in a photograph magazine "Rokkor" in 1958. But soon it was found that he had contracted tuberculosis. So he had to receive medical treatment for two years. In the meantime, his object of interest moved from an advertisement and fashion to "changing cities and changing Japan". After recovered he photographed many cities in Japan.
"I like to take pictures of a kind of grimes attached to houses and people." he said.

His view of subject which is very kind but not so sentimental made his works distinctive.

This is his 6th solo exhibition for 50 years of his life as a photographer. We will exhibit 30 pictures which were taken in Italy in 1993.
For the first time, he had photographed cities, people and atmosphere in a foreign country. It was expected this series would boost his career. But he was not able to release the shutter, because of the operations for cancer of larynx and esophagus. So this series has still kept being the latest one.
