Hiroji Kubota. Very good in Good jacket. Format is 12.25 inches by 11.75 inches. [3], 204 pages. Profusely illustrated (mostly in color). Captions in Chinese and English. Maps. Foreword by Jonathan D. Spence. DJ is price clipped, with some wear and soiling. Table of Contents includes: Foreword, A Photograph in China For a Thousand Days, Yangtze River Basin, Yunnan/Quizhou, Tibet, Yellow River Valley, Guilin, Guangdong/Fujian, Xinjiang, Nei Mongol, Northeast Plain, Beijing/Tianjin, Explanation of the Photographs, and Technical Data. A renowned photographer's unprecedented journey to all twenty-two provinces is recorded in this collection of 185 full-color images of the land, the people, and the spirit of China, portraying the country on the eve of a great change. Hiroji Kubota (Kubota Hiroji, born 2 August 1939) is a Japanese photographer, a member of Magnum Photos who has specialized in photographing the far east. Born in Kanda (Tokyo), Kubota studied politics at Waseda University, graduating in 1962. In 1961 he met the Magnum photographers René Burri, Elliott Erwitt, and Burt Glinn. He then studied journalism and international politics at the University of Chicago, and became an assistant to Erwitt and Cornell Capa, in 1965, a freelance photographer. Kubota photographed the 1968 US presidential election and then Ry ky islands before their return to Japan in 1972. He then photographed Saigon in 1975, North Korea in 1978, and China in 1979? 85, and the USA in 1988? 92, resulting in books and exhibitions. Kubota won the Mainichi Art Prize in 1980, and the Annual Award of the Photographic Society of Japan in 1981. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: The China framed by Kubota's camera lens is neither a collectivist utopia lurching toward a high-tech future nor a consumer society adopting capitalist ways, trends overplayed recently in the Western press. Instead we glimpse an immensely varied, post-feudal China struggling to modernize in the face of persistently low living standards. One hundred eighty-five candid color photographs show ferryboats and junks; meat shops where slaughtered cats and dogs are sold as food; careworn peasants, student artists, nude bathers, duck farmers; ancestor worshippers, devout Muslims and Tibetan lamaists. Kubota, launched on his photographic career in the U.S., traveled through the People's Republic from 1979 to 1984. He roamed from northwestern deserts to Manchurian forests, from ice-fishing in subzero temperatures to tribal "water festivals. '' Yet, somehow, the Chinese people and the country's political climate remain elusive in all of this.
