Akira Tanno's legendary photographic oeuvre reflected a preoccupied eye with changes within society and a passion for the expressive arts practiced in theater. Published in 1990 by Image House, Akita Tanno's PHOTO THEATER brings together a series that reflects Tanno's interest in performance. Here, Tanno has wonderfully captured the actors, the stage, and the scenes in a portrait of traditional Mibu Kyogen—Japanese Noh theater performed during three periods of the year at the Mibudera Temple in Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto.
The book includes an afterword by Akira Tanno and a text by Mori Yasuhisa.
