Traveler - Yoshishige Yada Posthumous Photo Collection 1984 Hardcover Description This photo book, 'Traveler - Yoshishige Yada Posthumous Photo Collection,' captures the unique vision of Japanese photographer Yoshishige Yada. Although Yada was an amateur photographer who passed away in his late twenties due to a traffic accident, his work is deeply evocative. The book was published by 491, a group operated by former members of the All Japan Student Photo Federation, suggesting Yada's involvement with the federation during his time at Tokyo University of Agriculture. The collection features images of vanishing steam locomotives, depopulating rural villages, abandoned mines like Ashio, and villages submerged due to dam construction. These subjects reflect the hidden casualties of modernization in Japan. The monochrome prints are beautifully deep, capturing the fading 'hometowns' of Japan with a unique theme and perspective. The high-contrast monochrome and the composed distance in the photographs evoke the spirit of 1970s Japanese photography.
