Masaru Tasaka - Kyoto Street Corner [Signed] - 1978

Signed copy of a rare photobook published in 1978 by an independent Kyoto press, offering an intimate, everyday portrait of Kyoto by the amateur photographer. Dissatisfied with cliché depictions of temples and gardens, Tasaka's black-and-white images focus on ordinary street corners, local life, and urban rhythms, capturing the city's lived-in soul. With a personal afterword, this book provides a grounded, resident's-eye view of Kyoto's subtle beauty amid tradition and modernity.
