Mitsutoshi Hanaga
Mitsutoshi Hanaga (b. 1933) took an enormous volume of photographs from the late-1950s through the 1980s, documenting the major shifts in Japanese society during this turbulent era. Turning his lens on the contradictions and social issues of postwar Japan, Hanaga took photographs from the perspective of the underprivileged and peripheral, documenting subjects such as avant-garde art, underground theater, environmental problems, student movements, butoh dance, and commune life. Renewed international interest in his full body of work – some 100,000 images – clarifies that Hanaga was not merely a witness to his age, he was an artist for whom photography was a radical act intervening in the scenes it captures. This exhibition focusing on works from “Mitsutoshi Hanaga 1000” explores Hanaga’s eye as a photographer who captured his subjects at close range, telling his full story as an artist of increased attention reaffirming his legacy in recent years.

An opening talk features Kyoichi Tsuzuki, editor of “Roadsider’s Weekly,” which ran a special on Hanaga, and Hajime Nariai, a curator at Tokyo Station Gallery and specialist on the postwar Japanese avant-garde and Showa visual culture.
