| "About Seiji Kurata, a prominent Japanese photographer, released his first photo book ""Flash Up,"" capturing the underground culture of urban Tokyo in the late 1970s. After studying oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts and working as an art teacher, Kurata began his photography journey at the age of 30. He was a first-term student at the legendary ""Workshop Photo School,"" founded by renowned photographers like Takuma Nakahira and Nobuyoshi Araki. His work culminated in a sensational debut with the exhibition ""Street Photo Random: Tokyo 1975-1979,"" which earned him the 5th Kimura Ihei Award. The book showcases intense snapshots of subcultures, including gays, sex workers, yakuza, and gang members, framed with strong flashes that capture the hidden fears, pleasures, and desires lurking in the darkness. This collection is a groundbreaking historical work, celebrating the beauty found in violent and provocative imagery and the diverse intersections created through photography." |
