Darwin finds in Issei Suda a stranger Japan: festivals, streets, gestures and ordinary bodies suspended between document and apparition. After photographing Shūji Terayama’s experimental theatre, Suda turned toward everyday life, retaining something theatrical and uncanny within it. Fushi Kaden remains central. Alongside Moriyama, yet quieter and more enigmatic, Suda connects Darwin’s Japanese photobooks to archives repeatedly rediscovered, resequenced and materially revived by Akio Nagasawa.
