Outsider Photography in Japan

Kyoichi TSUZUKIYusuke KIHARAVarious Artists

Publisher: KENELE BOOKS

Edited by Kyoichi Tsuzuki, "Outsider Photography in Japan" focuses on photographers whose work is rarely if ever featured in photography magazines, galleries, or museums, artists who work outside of established circles and conventions.

Featuring works by Yusuke Kihara, Fumiko Ohkura, Koh Kitamura, mimi, Naoto Iguchi, Daiyuu Aoki, Ray Tsuyumitsu, Takeshi Shimajira, Jiro Imai, Chiyonori Kitamura, Yuji Amano, Atsushi Sugiura, and Keitaru Yamaguchi, "Outsider Photography in Japan" explores the limitless potential of photography and the creative energy unleashed by recent revolutions in photographic technology, such as digital and cell phone cameras and social media services. Each of the included artists has his or her own recognizable style, characterized by either a monothematic focus or a unique approach or format.

“If I want to play music, I can buy a cheap guitar and write songs. If I want to be a rapper, I can grab a notebook and pencil and write lyrics. It’s the same with taking photos. There is no requirement to ‘learn’ photography … Grab your camera or phone and go out and capture whatever strikes you, Take pictures just as you would write an original song or rap lyric. The camera is now a visual instrument that allows us to express our thoughts and impulses in the most direct and emotional way possible.

This book is a modest record of unknown masterpieces that I ave encountered over the course of more than ten years of collecting.”
― from Kyoichi Tsuzuki’s foreword

“Outsider Photography in Japan” includes two essays by editor Kyoichi Tsuzuki as well as introductions of each artist’s work in Japanese and English.
