Yoshio Kataoka began his career as a writer when he was a 20-year-old student. It has been 60 years since he has released numerous works.
Another face is that of a photographer. Yoshio Kataoka's way of thinking about photography is quite simple. When you point the lens at your subject, your five senses are already active, so the next step is to decide when to release the shutter. In other words, photography is said to involve six senses.
Additionally, the city of Tokyo is undergoing major changes. Change means letting go of what used to be in order to get what didn't exist before. If you take photos of things before they are thrown away, those photos will remain as records long after they are thrown away, without any questions asked. Photographs can be said to be records of change.
``Tokyo Ate'' is a work that truly embodies Kataoka's world of photography.

[Staff review]

staff:Ozawa Azusa
Key points: This book is a collection of photos of various food sample shelves in a certain place in Tokyo. It somehow feels nostalgic, even though it is an unfamiliar place. Tokyo is changing rapidly, but this photo book makes you want to cherish places like these, such as coffee shops and local Chinese restaurants that have been loved by locals for a long time.
