SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “Otari-Pristine Peaks” by Keiko Nomura.

"Nestled among the peaks of Japan's Northern Alps, small enclaves such as Otari village punctuate the foothills with faint signs of activity. Here villagers live with the flow of the seasons in the fertile, yet unforgiving foothills. It’s been almost four years since my first visit to this mountain community, a place where snow can pile as high as 3 meters in winter. My initial motive for visiting was to research the traditional fire festival and hunting culture of this land. However experiencing the nature of the mountains and the people settled within this environment left a sensational impression on me. Life in the village seemed to have an untainted and fundamental depth. When I was standing in the heart of the deep surrounding forest I felt as if I was a tiny fragile object embraced in the bosom of something enormous. It was like a giant living and breathing essence with a will beyond human knowledge. Mountains bring about water and nurture all living things. Life at the foot of these mountains is simply one of working together with family and friends generation after generation. Above sits the ever-changing peaks and sky. I spent a cycle of seasons in this village. My photographs were taken by instinct."

SUPER LABO and BEAMS Co.,Ltd. are proud to announce the launching of the new project “NIPPON” with the photographer Naoki Ishikawa.
This is the project that the scene of each region of Japan witch captured by Naoki ishikawa’s look put together as a photo book format and tracing it to rediscover the Nippon archipelago. 47 titles will be launched by 2020 Olympic year.The first issue of 5 titles -Hokkaido, Akita, Nigata, Tokyo, Oita will be launched in mid -October.

"Japan is a chain of islands. It is made up of four major islands, namely Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, together with innumerable small islands around them. In the south are the Amami Islands and the Okinawa Islands. The Okinawa Islands consist of a smaller collections of islands, the Miyako and the Yaeyama Islands. The chain of islands even continues to Russia via Sakhalin to the north and to Southeast Asia via Taiwan to the south.
My perspective of considering the place called "Japan" in a broader sense, as a part of the pan-Pacific chain of islands instead of seeing it within its national borders, is closely tied to my way of life, as I have been a constant traveler since my teens.
The reason I entitled this book "The Japanese Archipelago" instead of "Japan” is because I hope to show that my viewpoint is not something enclosed or inwards-facing, but rather something that strives to reach outwards to the world. I also seek to express, without generalizing or homogenizing, the unique flow of time and mixed elements of each region as they are.
This book is neither a travel guide nor an introductory handbook to Japan. It is my desire that this collection of photographs be a new endeavor to delineate just how diverse and multi-layered these islands located at the end of the Eurasian continent are."

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “Tokyo Boogie Woogie” by Daido Moriyama.

“When I received the offer to make this book, I knew that I wanted it to be entirely graphical, or kitsch and pop, primarily featuring somewhat tawdry and erotic images. With this aim in mind, Tokyo was the perfect place. Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Asakusa, Ginza... Every corner of Tokyo is stunningly chaotic, teeming with a myriad of components that make up cities, like an overturned toy box or Pandora's box left open, giving me a thrilling feeling as I walk through the mishmash with my camera in hand. “

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “Ryusei no Shima” by Naoki Ishikawa

The Tokara Islands became the gateway to an island universe for me.The first time I saw a ceremony embodying the joy-bringing spirit (Mare bi to) that comes from far across the sea was at Akusekishima in the Tokara Islands. That experience was a trigger for me to continue recording religious festivals which are strongly influenced by the view of life and death in the southern islands.
Islands isolated geographically are divided by the sea. At the same time, they are also connected by the sea. Stars floating in the universe comprise constellations, while at the same time, each of them has its own, unique name and shines individually. However, at the very moment when I try to add some meaning to islands and stars, they disappear. I am still not sure if I can take photos of stars as they are, and show what I see on the islands as it is. But I would like to take photos of the radiating light from people living on the islands before I fall into the darkness inside thoughts.

"Silver drops were falling in silence. The clicking sounds of a camera went through the studio like the hum of an insect. Kate Barry was a photographer who had no qualms about taking pains in pursuit of a visionary image that lies in the depth of her mind. Penetrated by her sensitive aesthetics, Kate seemed to capture a momentary drama that would disappear each time."

Unable to overlook them, I captured them with my camera and accumulated these film rolls in a small box in my darkroom.

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “Layered” by Herbie Yamaguchi.

In the fashion industry, "layered look" refers to a style wearing clothes over other clothes. In photography, a snapshot often seems more fascinating when it captures virtual images, such as faces reflected in a mirror and landscape in a shop-window together with real objects around them. By the way, each of us is composed of many different layers of aspects, such as ancestry, education, hope, despair, travels, the period of time, environment and so on. Life itself is thus "layered."

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “Collecting Summers” by Kogi Onaka.

"It was in 1999 and I was 39 years old, feeling stagnant in both my career and life, when I quit taking black and white photographs and took up color film photography instead. Liberated from a kind of heavy seriousness of black and white photography, I came to feel more at ease releasing the shutter aimed at various subjects and scenes I had never photographed before in black and white.
This year, now 2017, as I sat in my cool, air-conditioned darkroom in the unbearable summer heat just before the end of the rainy season, I longed to see again the photographs of when color photography seemed so fresh to me. This is a book compiling those photographs, overflowing with the light of those summer days.”

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “The Moon Has Lost Her Memory”by Deanna Templeton.

“ The poem and the images harmonize in the pleasing hum of street lamps and the surrounding shadows. In a dark corner of a cafe a bored couple await their bill staring out into oblivion as a flock of women squished into shiny dresses flutter across the street, cars headlamps filtering through their spindly legs balanced on high heels teetering along the asphalt. The light sings in her frames, long exposures seared into the film, both the glow of the moon and garish neon signs glancing off the faces her subjects as they move through the night."

"When I am looking at flowers, there is always one that seems to stand out above the rest. As if it is calling out "Here I am," or "Aren’t I beautiful?" I move my gaze past this one, however, and look around at the others. In doing so, I never fail to find a flower that is in bloom quietly and with dignity. It is such flowers that I admire and cannot help taking photographs of."

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the new book “Svalbard” by Naoki Ishikawa.

"Northeast of Greenland, far north of the Scandinavian Peninsula, there is a group of islands called Svalbard. A part of Norway located in the northernmost part of the Arctic, this area is the northernmost point where human beings live today. Needless to say, summer nights are filled with the light of the midnight sun, and very dark polar nights are experienced during winter. The environment is so severe that the daily lowest temperature in winter is as low as -30℃. I have visited Svalbard two times so far. The first time was in April 2007 when the winter was not yet over, and the second time was from June until July of 2017,in mid-summer. Over a decade of time had passed between my two trips. "

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of the exhibition catalogue "Photosynthesis with Min Tanaka" which will be published on the occasion of the exhibition at Hara Museum from Sep 9 - dec 24.

"It was in the spring of 2016 that I was shown this series of photos by Keiichi Tahara. I was totally mesmerized by the beauty and power of the monochrome images which vividly captured Min Tanaka dancing in response to different kinds of light and atmospheres at a variety of places. What further intrigued me was fact that the time period of these images, 1978 to 1980, exactly overlapped the opening of the Hara Museum in 1979. Memories of Min Tanaka dancing at the museum during the ‘80s also came back to me. So when I learned that the series had yet to be exhibited even once in Japan, I thought, “why not show it at the Hara Museum?” Thus was born the idea for this exhibition."

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of our new book “You can click away of whatever you want: That’s PUNK” by Herbie Yamaguchi. This book will be the co-publishing with Paris based Galerie &co119.The book will be the exhibition catalog for Herbie’s solo show that will be held at Paris,Tokyo and New York this year.

“I was lucky enough to bump in to Joe Strummer of The Clash on the London Tube.
I turned to him and asked him if he would be kind enough to let me take some Photographs of him and he answered, “You can click away of whatever you want, That’s Punk”.
These words became the title of this book, as it resonated with me and hopefully it will give others courage, energy and HOPE.
In the last period of my LONDON era I was lucky enough to get some jobs working for Japanese music magazines and for record companies.
This enabled me to photograph more musicians and meet many more people.
These photo sessions were probably not important to them, but they remained sincere and gave me generous feedback that reflects on the photographs that I took.”

The Last Son is Goldberg’s second book in a personal, three-part Super Labo series weaving together an assemblage of visual memories that chart his coming of age as an artist. Goldberg, the youngest son of a wholesale candy distributor, traces his dreams alongside those of his father as he traverses the past through photographic and written montage. The conceptual inspiration comes from his recent remaking of Rich and Poor (Steidl, 2014), in which he examined more thoroughly the influence his early years have had on his work.

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of our new book “1973” by Keiichi Tahara.

Everything I perceived, saw and felt was utterly new. There was a quivering field of light, completely different from what I had become accustomed to in Japan.
The narrative of 1973 started in the loft of a seven story building, no elevator, in the Parisian student district of Quartier Latin.
The best medium to capture light is film. The best medium to express it is photo paper. Days and nights I spent roaming the streets of Paris and London with my camera.

The book will be launched at Paris Photo which will be held from 9th November.

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of our new book “From YOKOSUKA” by Miyako Ishiuchi.

“While it was outside the U.S. military base, Dobuita Street was a "Little America." With A-sign ("Approved for US Forces") bars and cabarets all trading in dollars lining both sides, the street was a glorious red-light district that prospered as wars continued. In this street, I took, developed, printed and exhibited photographs. Through my "From YOKOSUKA" series, I could "print out" various memories and thoughts from the past.

Although it no longer exists, the cabaret "2nd New YOKOSUKA" remains in my photographs. The exhibition "From YOKOSUKA" resulted from my confrontation with Yokosuka, the object of my disgust and hatred. I have nothing to regret for Yokosuka any more. Yokosuka as a proper noun has gone away from me now. My starting point finished its role and became past history. I will probably never visit Yokosuka again in reality. Something has ended. Good-bye, Yokosuka, and thank you, Yokosuka.”

The book will be launched at middle of July.

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of our new book “Photosynthesis” by MIN x Keiichi Tahara.

“These photos come from multiple photo sessions I conducted between 1978-1980 with the dancer Min Tanaka, exploring the relationship between physical light and the human body.
We experimented with various types of light, ambiences and seasons. The locale was broad, ranging from the metropolitan to the natural; Paris, Rome, New York, Iceland, Bordeaux, Tokyo, Kujuu-Kurihama and Akigawa-Keikoku. The motive was to observe how a dancer's body adapts to outer stimuli, or to rephrase it: a human body reaching into the light with its raw skin and nerve endings.
Only sounds of the camera clicking and rewinding film accompanied our steps.
Although this work has been nearly abandoned for the past 35 years, today it holds special meaning to the both of us in revisiting our creative starting points.”

The book will be launched early in June.

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of new book “TOKYO: VISION OF ITS OTHER SIDES”
by Masatoshi Naito.

For this book, Masatoshi Naito selected photographs by surveying all the negatives of a series in which the photographer extensively shot Tokyo's dark side from 1970 to 1985. None of the photographs in this book have been published before or included in his book, Tokyo: A Vision of Its Other Side (1985). This new book, compiled out of these unseen photographs and edited by Yasunori Hoki, the director of SUPER LABO, vividly portrays "the other side" of Tokyo in a different style from the previous publication and includes a new foreword written by Naito himself.

“In Tokyo, there are layers of sediment from diverse times. Tokyo today. Tokyo in the time of the post-war black-markets. Tokyo in the Edo period. A day of the people in Tokyo commonly begins with getting up in the morning and going to work. When the day's work is done, they go home after stopping by shopping streets or drinking bars. Nowadays, I see crowds of people flooding all over the Tokyo city area from morning to night. The crowds are always there, from the first train to the last train of the Yamanote Line, the Chuo Line, subways and various private railways. However, when the last trains are gone, along with the businessmen and women, students, and the workers of restaurants and bars, Tokyo is deserted, and the "other face of Tokyo" emerges. Somebody gathers food dumped by bars and restaurants. Another one picks up cardboard boxes and cans that may sell. There are people sleeping on the street. Some of them are drinking alcohol. Homeless people begin to act lively. Exactly, Tokyo as a "huge life form" reveals itself.”

The book will be launched at the end of May.
Limited numbers will be pre-sale at Offprint London.

SUPER LABO is proud to announce the release of new book “Teenage Smokers 2” by Ed Templeton

“Teenage Smokers 2 starts off from where the original book ends. Many are images that could not fit into the original book (Teenage Smokers, published 1999, Alleged Press) because that book was only 36 pages. None of the photos from the original book are in this book because I wanted to keep the integrity of the original book intact. The idea for this book sprang from finding the original boxes of Polaroid’s that started this whole series, shot in 1994 at my local skateboard park in Huntington Beach, California. The photos in this book are a continuation of that series that I have been shooting non-stop since ‘94 to the present. All photos are shot on film.”

“Nearly three years after I moved to the countryside beside the Sotobo rail line, it occurred to me that some of the sightseeing spots I used to visit as a tourist are now within the scope of my daily life. The places of legends and dreams are so close to me. I found myself wanting to document these landscapes that tend to be overlooked in our everyday lives and this idea became the origin of Boso Fudoki. Fifteen years have passed since then.

“These photographs were taken during the years between 1998 and 2008 using six cameras made by four different manufacturers and films in four different formats. “Zokei” [created landscape], the title of this book, is derived from “paysagement”, a notion presented by a French geographer in his examination of the cityscapes of Tokyo and other megalopolises developing around the world since modern times. The current situation in which there is no model for what “paysagement” should aim at seems suitable to our time at a turning point of entire civilization, not to mention technology.”

Omoplata is proud to announce the release of new book “sononite” by Sachico Kawanabe.

“My grandmother passed away during the two-year period when I took photographs of the apple orchard that I happened to find, by chance, in my hometown. The light that reflected off the stainless steel table that held my grandmother’s ashes at the crematory and the sunshine filtering through foliage at the apple orchard seemed to overlap as my four-year old daughter stood there, gathering the ashes. The apple orchard was always filled with dense light. Even in the winter when nothing seemed to exist, there was a sunshine that reflected on the apples that had fallen on the ground and snow beneath bit as the birds ate. The sprouts growing from the frozen branches waited quietly for the coming of spring. This place is always filled with light and shines after the darkness of night. Life could be the light.
The following winter, I entered the apple orchard and prayed for the world to be filled with lights.”

The book will be launched on 19th April.
