Bruce Gilden first set foot in Japan in 1995. On this trip, the first of several, he explored a hidden side of a country that had long fascinated him; from Tokyo to Osaka, he uncovered a Japan that is little-known to Westerners and captured it in his own inimitable photographic style.
In Bruce Gilden: Cherry Blossom, Gilden tells the story of these travels and the ties he maintains with Japan in a rare introductory text. Every photograph portrays a close and powerful encounter. There are no cherry blossom trees or geishas on these pages; Gildenās camera points toward the darker sides of Japanese lifeāthe gangsters, the dispossessed, and people experiencing homelessness. As ever, the Magnum photographerās work is tough and unflinching, his portrait of Japanese society unconventional and compelling.
The stories told alongside these photographsāthirty-four of which are published here for the first timeācreate a book thatās hard to forget.
