First edition, first and only printing of Yasuhiro Ishimoto's critically acclaimed photobook "Someday, Somewhere" "ある日ある所". Yasuhiro Ishimoto's work represented an influential link between japanese and american photography. With this book, published in 1958, he had the distinction of producing the first major postwar Japanese photobook shot in both Tokyo and Chicago. In between he published this, his first book, and the first important work to emerge from the group. Ishimoto occupies an interesting position in the history of Japanese photography and was another important link between the East and West. Born in San Francisco in 1921, he moved with his family to Japan at the age of three. After graduating from high school he went back to San Francisco to study. A year later, as a result of the war, he was sent to an internment camp in Colorado for Japanese citizens and those of Japanese descent. It was here that his interest in photography began. After the war Ishimoto went to Chicago and studied at the Institute of Design under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He graduated in 1952 and returned to Japan the following year, although he continued to travel between the two countries. Someday, Somewhere contains photographs from both Chicago and Tokyo, and clearly shows the influence of his time studying with Callahan and Siskind.
