Eikoh Hosoe's boundary-pushing photography explored universal themes such as death and the supernatural, making him a pivotal figure in postwar Japanese art.
'To me photography can be simultaneously both a record and a mirror or window of self-expression,' said Eikoh Hosoe, highlighting the depth of his artistic vision.
Born in Yonezawa and affected by the wartime firebombing of Tokyo, Hosoe's early experiences shaped his fascination with mythology and the spiritual world.
As a cofounder of the Vivo photography collective, Hosoe significantly influenced the documentary photography landscape, gaining acclaim for his haunting, high-contrast images.
