Born 27th March Sakaimachi, (now known as Sakaiminato City), Shoji Ueda was the third and only surviving child of four children. Born and raised in Tottori prefecture, Ueda's photographic works are both playful and meticulous constructions which depict an array of surreal and dreamlike landcapes shot against the backdrop of Tottori Sand Dunes.
A master photographer, Shoji Ueda's works are beautiful and elaborate realizations of a worldview, which remained unique and stood apart amongst the iconic developments of 1960s Japan, such as the politically radical Provoke movement.
Highlighted Item
This is a mini-portfolio of six collotype prints of photographs by Shoji Ueda (1913-2000), one of Japan’s most highly esteemed photographers. Ueda, who lived in Tottori Prefecture, often incorporated the nearby sand dunes in his surrealist and inventive compositions of portraits and group photographs.
The photographs in the compilation “Sand Dune” were selected by Kyoto-based print manufacturer Benrido from Ueda’s eponymous series.
Collotype, one of the oldest techniques of creating photographic prints, is a pigment-based process. The technique is revered for its excellent reproducibility, the smoothness and depth of its textures and its strong durability. It is often employed for the reproduction of important cultural works. Benrido, founded in 1905 in Kyoto, is one of the most experienced collotype printing studios in the world.
