X has been called Japan’s pre-eminent photographer of the postwar era. In 1959 X formed Vivo with Eikoh Hosoe and Ikkō Narahara. X called the desolation of Japan genkokei, primal landscape, a geographical Year Zero. Occupation was the original title X chose for the pictures he took around the US base towns in Japan and Okinawa but later he changed it to "Chewing Gum and Chocolate".
ID X.
