FEMMES PHOTOGRAPHES JAPONAISES

A Landmark Book That Fills a Major Historiographical Gap

This comprehensive work sheds light on the creations of Japanese women photographers from the 1950s to the present day. While recognition of the Japanese photography scene has primarily benefited male photographers since the 1970s, many women artists have nonetheless played a vital role in the development of the medium, demonstrating undeniable virtuosity. Through more than 500 images—including a wide selection of photographs, book facsimiles, and an anthology of texts—this volume reveals the vast scope of what has long been overlooked, offering a joyful and critical enrichment of the history of Japanese photography.
