After working for \u003cem\u003eIwanami Photo Library\u003c\/em\u003e, he became a freelance photographer, and in 1959 co-founded the photographers’ collective VIVO with Ikko Narahara, Eikoh Hosoe, Kikuji Kawada, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKingdom of Mud\u003c\/em\u003e was published in 1978 as Volume 12 of Asahi Sonorama’s \u003cem\u003eSonorama Photo Selection\u003c\/em\u003e series. The book is composed of photographs taken during Tomatsu’s approximately one-month assignment in Afghanistan in 1963 as a correspondent for the magazine \u003cem\u003eTaiyo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book contains images of Kabul during the monarchy period, rural landscapes, everyday life, mud houses, and the earth itself. While some of the photographs overlap with those in \u003cem\u003eSalaam Aleikum\u003c\/em\u003e, the volume also includes previously unpublished works. Created in a place different from the subjects of Tomatsu’s major postwar Japan projects—such as Nagasaki, U.S. military bases, and Okinawa—this book documents Afghanistan in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonorama Photo Selection 12: Kingdom of Mud\u003cbr\u003eShomei Tomatsu\u003cbr\u003eAsahi Sonorama, 1978\u003cbr\u003e217 × 207 × 17 mm\u003cbr\u003eGood condition for its age\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"朝日ソノラマ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42908757295175,"sku":null,"price":5500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/4388\/5127\/files\/DSC02074.jpg?v=1782598783","url":"https:\/\/www.nagayapaperlab.com\/en\/products\/%e3%82%bd%e3%83%8e%e3%83%a9%e3%83%9e%e5%86%99%e7%9c%9f%e9%81%b8%e6%9b%b812-%e6%b3%a5%e3%81%ae%e7%8e%8b%e5%9b%bd-kingdom-of-mud-shomei-tomatsu","provider":"nagaya paper lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
