YASUZO NOJIMA

One of the most important figures in the history of modern Japanese photography. Yasuzo Nojimas works range from kaiga shugi shashi n (pictorial photography) to shink shashin (new/straight photography) of the early twentieth century. His earliest works are charact erized by a density and heaviness echoing that of pictorialism, based in his subtle sensitivity and the pigment printing process, th e mainstream printing method of that time.
