Shomei Tomatsu: Chewing Gum and Chocolate
As one of Japan's foremost twentieth-century photographers, Shomei Tomatsu's Chewing Gum and Chocolate focuses on the seismic impact of the American victory and occupation in postwar Japan: uniformed American soldiers carousing in red-light districts with Japanese women; foreign children at play in seedy landscapes, home to American forces; and the emerging protest formed in response to the ongoing American military presence.
Measures approximately 1.2" H x 11.6" L x 9.7" W.
