As one of the first American photographers to set foot on Japanese soil at the end of World War II, even before Japan had officially surrendered, John Swope experienced and recorded a critical, peculiar, and fragile moment in the history of Japan and a war-torn world. His powerful photographic essay is complemented by a 144-page letter that he wrote to his wife, the actress Dorothy McGuire, which describes, in detail, his experiences and emotional reactions to all that he saw and photographed. Swope went to Japan as part of the elite team of Edward Steichen Naval photographers to document the release of Allied prisoners of war, but he went far beyond his official duties. During a three-and-a-half week period he took photographs that vividly convey the impact of World War II on the local population and the land, as well as the Allied prisoners. Having visited Japan fifteen years before as a young man, Swope struggled in 1945 with the numerous contradictions he observed and felt. His photographs, together with his words, convey a poignant, highly personal view of this world in limbo expressing a great sense of humanity and sensitivity for people on both sides of the conflict. The book honors Swope's original intention of bringing together his photographs with the letter he wrote to his wife; individual images are juxtaposed with short excerpts. The book presents 114 color plates and gives insight into Swope's larger pursuit of capturing the universal human experience by also including highlights from his work as a Hollywood photographer, from his Life magazine career, and from his international travels from the 1930s to the 1970s.

This publication shows how scholarly investigation of Japanese photography in recent years has entered an important transitional stage -- moving beyond its focus on new discoveries and descriptions of collections, to a more sophisticated investigation of photography in its historical and cultural contexts. At one time marginalized as either a practical technique or amateur art form, Japanese photography has now earned full recognition as a legitimate subject of scholarly inquiry. It is now being examined in terms of its aesthetics, technological development, and its role in the development of a national identity in Japanese art during the country's transition to modernity as well as in contemporary society.Contributors include:Himeno Junichi (on the early development of photography in Japan),Sebastian Dobson (focussing on the colourful figure of Felice Beato),Luke Gartlan (on Baron Raimond von Stillfried-Ratenicz),Allen Hockley (on photographic albums produced by commercial studios in the 1880s and 1890s),Kinoshita Naoyuki (exploring the tradition of war portraiture in Japan)Mikiko Hirayama (describing the transition from the pioneering stages of photography in Japan to the modern era).

The Japanese Imperial Army was the most powerful force in the Far East through the 1930s and early 1940s, and this photographic history is the ideal introduction to it. In a vivid selection of archive images, most of which have not been published before, Philip Jowett covers its role in a series of conflicts, beginning with its invasion of Manchuria in 1931 until its final defeat in the Pacific War in August 1945. He describes the development of the army, its structure and organization and its expansion during these years, and illustrates its actions in a series of campaigns that are often overlooked in other books on the subject, including those in China between 1931 and 1937 and the Nomonhan campaign against the Soviet Union in 1938. The extraordinary ambition of the Japanese military during these years is dramatically revealed through the photographs and the accompanying text, and the book provides a graphic record of the Japanese armys performance against the opposing forces that were eventually ranged against it the Chinese, British, Soviets and Americans.

This unique window on history employs hundreds of images and written records from Japanese periodicals during World War II to trace the nation's transformation from a colorful, cosmopolitan empire in 1937 to a bleak "total war" society facing imminent destruction in 1945. The author draws upon his extensive collection of Japanese wartime publications to reconstruct the government-controlled media's narrative of the war's goals and progress - thus providing a close-up look at how the war was shown to Japanese on the home front. Many of these visual and written sources are rare in Japan and were previously unavailable in the West. Strikingly, the narrative remains consistent and convincing from victory to retreat, and even as defeat looms large. Earhart's nuanced reading of Japan's wartime media depicts a nation waging war against the world and a government terrorizing its own people. At once informed, scholarly, and readily accessible, this lavishly illustrated volume offers an accurate representation of the official Japanese narrative of the war in contemporary terms. The images are fresh and compelling, revealing a forgotten world by turns familiar and alien, beautiful and stark, poignant and terrifying.

Until recently it had been assumed that no colour photographs existed in Japan until the victorious US forces arrived in 1945. However, following a year-long research project, an extraordinary colour record began to emerge. Rare photographs reveal imperial Japanese troops in Manchuria in 1931, preparations for war in 1939, occupation troops in 1940 and the Japanese war machine in action throughout the Second World War. This book contains a unique and fascinating archive of colour photographs, film stills and prints from one of the most momentous periods in world history, including never-before-seen photographs of Japanese troops in action and extremely rare colour photographs of the attack on Pearl Harbour.

"Trained as a sculptor, Japanese artist Tokihiro Sato first turned to photography as a means of documenting his work. It is through his photographs, however, that the artist has found a way to successfully blend process and product. Sato creates long-exposure photographs in which he travels through the frame of the landscape, drawing with a flashlight (by night) or reflecting sunlight back at the camera with a mirror (by day). These lights are recorded as traces of the artist's presence, while he himself is rendered invisible by his motion during the course of the exposure. Installed as large-scale transparencies that are lit from behind, these glowing images embody presence and absence, and materiality and spirituality." "This catalogue is one of the first records of Sato's work to appear in the United States. The book reproduces fourteen transparencies in rich duotone, and features an essay by Art Institute of Chicago curator Elizabeth Siegel. Also included is an interview with the artist, in which he elucidates his technique and discusses the relationship between photography and sculpture that he explores in his work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
