A beautiful re-release of Tsutomu Yamagata’s portrait series of the unique individuals he met around Ueno Park’s Shinobazu Pond.

“There is something about the people I met at the park that peculiarly attracts me, something more than just how they look, just what they say about themselves. It is as if they had a kind of magnetic power, unseen and quiet, further attracting those who take a close look at them." (Tsutomu Yamagata)

This new publication by Zen Foto Gallery and Case Publishing adds 15 previously unreleased portraits to Yamagata’s original 2012 release.
