■ Additional Product Information ■
Shashin Jidai (Photography Era) was a magazine published by Byakuya Shobo.
First published in 1981.
■ Overview
Editor-in-Chief: Akira Suei
The centerpiece of the photography section was Nobuyoshi Araki.
Renowned photographers such as Daido Moriyama, Seiji Kurata, and Keizo Kitajima also published their works in the magazine.
According to Araki, the magazine’s name originated when Suei and Araki were drinking together in Shinjuku. The conversation happened to turn to *Keisetsu Jidai* (Obunsha), and from there, they discussed how “the future belongs to photography,” leading to the name *Shashin Jidai* (The Age of Photography).
Moriyama made his mark with grainy black-and-white photographs, while Kurata documented the raw, visceral atmosphere of Kabukichō 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.”
■ Discontinuation
Due 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.
