Kansuke Yamamoto was a Japanese avant-garde poet-photographer, editor, and publisher based in Nagoya. His Surrealist photography and photomontage developed in dialogue with international modernism as it circulated into Japan in the 1930s and 1940s, and has been discussed in transnational histories of Surrealism and modern photography that move beyond Paris-centered narratives.
