People protest outside the National Diet on July 15, 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. Protesters gathered after the ruling Liberal Democratic Party pushed the controversial security bills through the lower house committee. The security bills would expand the military powers of Japan’s Self Defense Force allowing them the right to exercise collective self-defense or the right for a country to use force to aid an ally under attack.

KEN DOMON [Hiroshima (Kenko-sha), 1958]

The first major Japanese book to tackle the horrors of Hiroshima. Beautifully printed in deep gravure with Joan Miro’s distinctive cover. As one of the most important memorials to the Hiroshima bombing, Domon’s book employs respectful, yet unflinching gravure images to document the bombing’s atrocities. With his direct, unflinching approach, he was the first to undertake a major project on Hiroshima. The series deals with the physical destruction of the city, but focuses mainly on the lives of the hibakusha (the atomic bomb survivors).
