Description

Issei Suda: A Celebration of Everyday Beauty The work of Issei Suda is distinct in contemporary Japanese photography for its celebration of the beauty in everyday life. His black and white pictures reflect on the often-overlooked aspects of urban existence, capturing 'the little surprises usually ignored in our world'. These images reveal a photographer who observed and tenderly recorded the tensions between old and new Japan. Suda's photographs juxtapose traditional Japanese visual elements with Western influences from fashion, advertising, and leisure. Through his lens, we see the ingrained cultural traditions of Japan alongside the prevailing styles of modernity. This unique blend of perspectives offers a fascinating insight into the photographer's practice. This book provides an illuminating introduction to Issei Suda's remarkable body of work, showcasing his distinctive approach to capturing the beauty in the mundane.
