Top » Promotion of Japanese Photography History
JPS has been active in compiling and exhibiting Japanese photography of the past. History of Japanese Photographic Expression in the Past 100 Years exhibition in 1969, History of Japanese Contemporary Photography 1945–70 exhibition in 1975 and Modern Japanese Photography: The Eye That Records and Creates exhibition in 1995 were all very highly rated.
In addition, three books on the history of Japanese photography have been published by Heibonsha under the editing supervision of JPS. The first was Japanese Photography History 1840–1945, published in 1971.
This book was later translated into English and published as A Century of Japanese Photography by Pantheon in New York in 1980. In 1977, History of Japanese Contemporary Photography 1945–70 was published. In the spring of 2000, History of Japanese Contemporary Photography 1945–95 appeared in the bookstores.
