■ "TANGE BY TANGE 1949-1959 / Tange Kenzo as Seen by Tange Kenzo" by Toyokawa Saikaku

This book compiles full-size contact sheets taken by Tange Kenzo himself over the 10-year period from 1949 to 1959.

Tange, an avid camera enthusiast, captures numerous photographs of his own works, his travels abroad, and visits to Katsura Imperial Villa. This is also a valuable collection of Tange's works, capturing the landscape at the time of their completion.

What did Tange Kenzo see through his camera during these 10 years, which solidified his status as a world-class architect? This is a must-have classic that will remain in architectural history.
