Charm of the photo with a "record of the unconscious resistance"
today,Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of PhotographyWe've seen two of the exhibition which is being held in. One is, Museum of Photography is a collection of photos of the Showa holdings exhibition"Showa 1945-1989 of the photograph". Now exhibition to become the first part of the exhibition four times in succession is performed on the theme of "occupied Japan (Occupied Japan)", was on display attracted a picture of post-war immediately the 1940s. Start from one piece Hiroshi Hamaya is copy the "sun of the defeat of the day", somewhere from the end was now exhibition with a photograph of stateless streets was copy the ikkō narahara, of people and still remain land that once existed did things come to tell the very best history.
From light snapshot of Ihei Kimura cut away humorous the figure of people living after the war, from the look of Osamu Dazai Tadahiko Hayashi was copy and Ango Sakaguchi felt emotions is familiar drifting between the lines of text that they spell is, has been handed down energetic creative impulse of the artist was to hand the "not tied to regulatory representation" from a number of nude photos and experimental photographs taken in the post-war of liberating air. Labeling of English is full of the city, the landscape of burnt ruins are spread everywhere, I realized that undeniably he pictures of memories of this country that I was born without. Although there were many also tragic scene, as the overall impression, through the time after the war of the blank, it was intended to feel vibrant and muscularity of people living in desperate towards the reconstruction.

Tadahiko Hayashi "Osamu Dazai" 1946Another photo by Takashi Amano who continued taking over nature for more than 10 years of Sado Island Exhibition"From Sado ─ the seabed to the forest of primitive". From the virgin forests and beaches of photos that capture the look of the four seasons, landscape feel the Japanese traditional beauty there was a large number. Neat and minimalist wave reminiscent of ink painting, autumn leaves off a bright color such as ukiyo-e, branches snowy feel the beauty of the subtle and profound, profound and enormous wild forest. In the photo taken with an ultra-large-format camera that 8 × 20 inch maximum, using a large-format camera to mark "the nature of the appearance to Katsuaki, revealed that Ichimoku Ichikusa is to hold a natural comments Street author that wanted ", the natural state in which full of life force had been photographed in fine.
"Sado ─ from the seabed to the primitive forest" exhibition from. The caption "It's huge cedar. The old is more than a thousand years more than the stem around 11m, but the people who know the exact age for too old is not." Has been marked.I felt strongly from two of the exhibition, as well as the power of the "recording" of the photo, was the fun of Walter Benjamin says "unconscious of having a photograph." The difference constantly the human eye to focus on somewhere in the field of view, as inorganic aspects of photographic expression to project to the flat without sift through all of the scenery, which is housed in the viewfinder, are highlighted in the two exhibition felt. "Showa" Exhibition of the photographer's elaborate reflected in the unconscious ahead towards the camera, such as from smoke and abandoned building materials of character and chimney of the sign, to imagine the sound and smell and humidity there it could, of "Sado" Exhibition on the photo of the "Senju cedar forest", if plants one by one of the feet that would not have even surely conscious when he was standing in front of the same scenery scars attached to the stem of the delicate detail and trees, have been clearly depicted in the precision of the large-format camera late, noticed the obvious fact that "are composed of small plants and soil and stone with nature", I was surprised. Again touched, never not come transmitted "photographic expression from such as photo album the charm of" photo "that things like facial expressions and hot air that can not be had only in its era, its location in one of the photographic paper is jammed with plenty It was of two of the exhibition, such as going back to the origin. "
After leaving the museum, uncomfortable to landscape the eye is not accustomed, I did not think the beautiful skyline of clean brick buildings and neatly furnished Garden Place is it up to the forest of the city and primitive of Showa What because I have immersed. The born and raised my eyes in downtown Tokyo, there is familiar was towards the landscape to stay alive in the photograph.
