CAMERA MAINICHI '72

February 1972

A rare and iconic issue of Camera Mainichi, published in February 1972 under the editorial direction of Shoji Yamagishi (1930–1979). This volume features the legendary photo series Tulsa by Larry Clark on both the cover and opening pages believed to be the first time his work was ever published in Japan.

A vital artifact in the history of postwar photographic publishing, this issue offers a cross-section of early 1970s Japanese and American photographic dialogue, including original works by Nobuyoshi Araki, Masayoshi Sukita, and many others. With a total of 258 pages, the magazine blends documentary photography, experimental work, interviews, essays, and equipment analysis in a format that defined the golden age of Japanese photo magazines.
