Kohei Yoshiyuki
Photography
Kohei Yoshiyuki was a Japanese photographer known for his series documenting Tokyo's urban nightlife and marginal spaces during the 1970s and 1980s. Working primarily in black and white, he captured nocturnal landscapes and figures with a voyeuristic intensity that exposed the city's hidden social underbelly. His unflinching approach to subjects often considered taboo established him as a significant figure in postwar Japanese photography. Yoshiyuki's work remains a stark documentary record of late 20th-century urban alienation and surveillance.
