Japanese photography, and the Japanese edition of photography books, are still extremely dynamic today. Only a small part of the books published in Japan are available in bookstores around the world, but many photographers - like their elders Daido Moriyama and Nobuyoshi Araki who still publish with the same regularity - are today recognized and widely followed beyond Japan.
Examples include Rinko Kawauchi, Koji Onaka, Atsushi Fujiwara, Toshio Shibata, and more recently Daisuke Yokota and Kazuma Obara.
