About the Author:
Wherever Mr. Kubota worked he maintained a Japanese aesthetic sensibility and a passion to create beauty that was his reaction to growing up in devastated postwar Japan. "The Wall Street Journal"
The new Aperture monograph "Hiroji Kubota Photographer" is a stunning document. In more than 500 large, luscious pages, it provides a showcase for a pageant of images offering a concentrated examination of the camera s power to record and reveal, and of the vision of a skilled photographer who seemed, almost instinctively, to have been in the right place at the right time over and over and again. "Hyperallergic"
serves as a compelling starting point for exploring the themes, inquisitive spirit and technical innovations that characterized some of the most original documentary-photography artists of postwar Japan "Hyperallergic"
It's the work of a photographer for whom making an excellent picture seems second nature. "Mother Jones"
Kubota gives us a truly unique look at the transition of the world from the tumultuous '60s to the 2000s. "Mother Jones""
