Description

A critical and celebratory counter-narrative to what we know of Japanese photography today. I’m So Happy You Are Heremany of which will be published in translation for the first time. While this book does not claim to be fully comprehensive or encyclopedic, its goal is to provide a solid foundation for a more thorough conversation about the contributions of Japanese women to photography—and an indispensable resource for anyone interested in a more robust history of Japanese photography.  Made possible in partnership with the Renconres d'Arles and Kering.
