【連続展】浜昇の戦後と昭和 2026.1.26 – 2026.12.31 12:00 - 20:00 会期中無休／DAILY OPEN
浜昇（1946年、東京生まれ）は、1975年に東松照明や森山大道らが講師を務めた「WORKSHOP写真学校」に参加後、自主ギャラリー「PUT」設立に携わり、80年代に差しかかるまで個展・グループ展を通じて精力的に作品を発表します。その後も撮影を継続しながら、自ら設立したレーベル「写真公園林」での出版活動へと軸足を移し、写真展を含めた発表の場からは次第に距離を置くようになります。
そして2025年6月、当ギャラリーの出版レーベルKula Booksでは、浜の7冊目となる写真集『津軽野』を刊行しました。これを機に、写真家・浜昇の50年にわたる仕事の軌跡を辿りなおす試みとして、未発表作と最新作を含む6つのシリーズからなる連続展を開催いたします。

We are pleased to present Noboru Hama: Postwar and the Showa Era, a six-volume exhibition series, tracing over five decades of photographic practice by Noboru Hama.
Noboru Hama (b. 1946, Tokyo) emerged in the generation following Japan’s postwar photographic avant-garde. In 1975, he participated in the influential WORKSHOP Photography School led by Shomei Tomatsu and Daido Moriyama—two central figures in postwar Japanese photography. He subsequently established the independent gallery PUT, actively presenting his work through solo and group exhibitions until the early 1980s. While continuing to photograph, Hama gradually shifted his focus toward publishing through his own imprint, Shashin Koenrin (Photo Park Forest), and distanced himself from exhibition activity.
In the 2000s, Hama began publishing a sequence of photobooks that collectively revisit the Showa era (1926–1989), a period encompassing Japan’s militarism, defeat in World War II, rapid economic growth, and the collapse of the late-1980s bubble economy. Vacant Land 1989 compiles 953 photographs documenting Tokyo left pockmarked with vacant lots by aggressive land speculation during the economic bubble. The Name “Okinawa” records Okinawa from its 1972 “reversion” from U.S. administration to Japan through the 1990s, tracing the island’s complex political and social realities. Thus, Showa Has Passed documents Tokyo on and around the day of Emperor Hirohito’s state funeral in 1989, marking the symbolic end of the Showa era.
In June 2025, Kula Books—our publishing imprint—released Hama’s seventh photobook, Tsugaruno. On this occasion, we presents six volumes comprising distinct series, including previously unpublished works and recent photographs. The project reexamines the trajectory of Hama’s fifty-year engagement with Japan’s postwar condition and its visual testimony.
