: Explores gendered looking and intimate relationships, featuring Nagashima Yurie and Ishiuchi Miyako .
Features philosophical selections from Hiroshi Sugimoto , Masahisa Fukase , and Takashi Homma . Literary & Cultural Context
Post-1945, following Japan’s defeat in World War II, the setting sun became a potent symbol of a shattered national myth. Literary giants like Osamu Dazai authored The Setting Sun (Shayō), a novel about the decay of the aristocracy. Photographers of the same era, often working in the are-bure-boke (rough, blurry, out-of-focus) style, translated this literary angst into celluloid. Their "writings"—captions, essays, and accompanying haiku—became inseparable from their images.
This collection brings together the personal writings of Japan’s most evocative image-makers: from the postwar melancholy of and the quiet observation of Daido Moriyama to the lyrical musings of Masahisa Fukase and the contemplative gaze of Miyako Ishiuchi . Through diaries, manifestos, letters, and unpublished notes, Setting Sun offers a rare glimpse into the thoughts behind the photograph.
The anthology includes 29 articles from 19 prominent photographers, with Daido Moriyama Nobuyoshi Araki contributing the most entries (four each). Photographer Featured Writing/Theme Daido Moriyama
: Demonstrating the vital connection between a photographer’s text and their visual work. Diversity of Form
