Shigeichi Nagano (born 1925), circa 1959. In [Shigeichi] Nagano’s prolific photographic output one can sense his commitment to the ‘now’ of the era that he is photographing. His work in the late 1950s and early 1960s shows a radically new city emerging through its mutating landscape, but most of all through the lives of its inhabitants.[…] His images echo the sentiment felt by many that the breakneck pace of economic growth was damaging the nation’s social fabric. – Marc Feustel, “Staring at the sun”, Japan: A Self-Portrait exhibition catalog -- source link
