This book is part of the Shinchosha "Photo Musee" series offering a newly edited reprint of Japanese photographer Shomei Tomatsu's 11:02 Nagasaki portraying the aftermatch of the atomic bomb in Japan.

In 1961, Shomei Tomatsu began a series of close-up photographs of objects found at the explosion site at Nagasaki. These include a watch, stopped at precisely 11:02, a headless statue, and a warped glass bottle that serves as a horrific metaphor for all of the mined bodies and lost lives. 

Softcover with illustrated dust jacket and obi, 20 x 14,9 cm, b&w photographs. First edition of a reprint of Shomei Tomatsu's "11:02 Nagasaki" originally published in 1966. Still in shrink wrap!
