Lines and Bodies — Yasuhiro Ishimoto. Published by Atelier EXB.
A Japanese American who worked in Chicago and Japan in the 1950s and 60s, Ishimoto is an important photographer whose work is not widely known. The book’s construction is rather complicated with its foldouts, full-bleeds, and partial bleeds, and the paper stock is too glossy for my tastes, but this is a necessary overview.
