■ Additional Product Information ■Shashin Jidai (Photography Era) was a magazine published by Byakuya Shobo.First published in 1981.
■ OverviewEditor-in-Chief: Akira SueiThe photography section was centered around Nobuyoshi Araki.Renowned photographers such as Daido Moriyama, Seiji Kurata, and Keizo Kitajima also published their work in the magazine.
According to Araki, the magazine’s name originated when he and Suei were drinking in Shinjuku and the topic of *Keisetsu Jidai* (Obunsha) came up by chance. The conversation then turned to “This is the age of photography,” leading to the name *Shashin Jidai*.
Moriyama stated that for eight years during the 1980s, he did almost no work other than his serialized column in this magazine.Furthermore, Moriyama made his mark with grainy black-and-white photographs, while Kurata documented the raw, visceral atmosphere of Kabukicho and the yakuza, each establishing a distinct presence.
Other contributors included Shigesato Itoi, Takashi Ueno, Dan Takasugi, Nobufusa Minami, Kazuhiro Watanabe, Kyoko Okazaki, and Kaoruko Himeno.
Genpei Akasegawa’s serialized column “Super Art Tomason” in the magazine sparked a boom, attracting numerous reader-submitted photos of “objects that exist boldly despite being completely useless.”
■ DiscontinuationDue to the radical expressions of Araki and others, the magazine received several warnings from the Metropolitan Police Department and was discontinued with the April 1988 issue.
