Remarques & avis / ReviewWATANABE Yoshio (1907-2000) est un photographe japonais renommé, qui travailla beaucoup sur le monument japonais historique et sacré, en particulier le sanctuaire d'Ise, et s'intéressa aux différences entre Japon et Occident. Il contribua à la création du Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography à Ebisu, dont il fut le premier directeur. Il photographie pour la première fois le sanctuaire d'Ise, le plus important du Japon, et ses environs en 1953 : Jingu to Ise-ji est la somme de 15 ans de travail, en grand format sous étui, excellente impression et finition. Un très beau livre-photo sur le cœur du shintoïsme.

Yoshio WATANABE (1907-2000) was a renowned Japanese photographer who worked much on Japanese historical and sacred monuments, especially the Ise shrine, and was interested in the differences between the Western world and Japan. He contributed to the creation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Ebisu, of which he became the first director. It was in 1953 that he shooted the shrine of Ise — the most important shrine in all Japan — and its surroundings for the first time: Jingu to Ise-ji is the result of 15 years of work, in a large, well-crafted, slipcased volume. A beautiful photobook on the core of shintoism.
