Chewing Gum and Chocolate — Shomei Tomatsu (2014 edition)
This is the 2014 Kehrer Verlag edition of Chewing Gum and Chocolate , a career-defining monograph of Shomei Tomatsu’s work chronicling postwar Japan through its most volatile contradictions. The title itself — sweet, disposable, foreign — cues the tension at the heart of Tomatsu’s images: a Japan occupied, Americanised, economically blooming, and spiritually unsettled. The book presents a black-and-white archive that veers from documentary to surreal, locating beauty in rupture.
