Sobre este artículo
Tokyo: Sinchosha Company 1998, 1998. First edition. 8vo. [658pp] Card covers in white decorated with red circle (i.e. the Japanese flag. Lettered in white (on red) to spine. Illustrated paper wrapper and publisher's band (obi). All in excellent condition with only the very slightest shelfwear. Illustrated throughout with almost no text apart from chapter headings in Japanese and English. Kurata's work is in the tradition of the photo-documentary. He captures, in both colour and black and white, everyday life in Japan from the mainstream to the counter-cultural. As Kurata writes in the introduction (text in English), these photographs were taken between the 1970s and the early 1990s and form "a nearly comprehensive survey of my "street photos" taken within the time and space of Japan". The images are a mixture of previously unpublished material and photographs from earlier collections, in particular the highly regarded Flash Up - Street Photo Random Tokyo. This important collection demonstrates Parr and Badger's observation that Kurata "has an unerring instinct for pictures that suggest stories".

Sobre Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
