FUKUHARA Roso 福原 路草

The location at which Fukuhara Roso shot this photograph is unknown, but was probably a summer resort area. This work, in which he set the camera on the ground and photographed a chair right in front of it, gives a sense of the artist’s sense of humor. Roso, who had a significantly more Modernist sensibility than his older brother Shinzo, worked in a style that shared the fundamentals of the Modernist Shinko Shashin (New Photography) style. His focus was not, however, on the “thing itself”; he was unwavering in his approach to a somewhat humorous observation of nature.
