Biography


Hamaya was born in Shitaya, Tokyo, on 28 March 1915.[2] Between 1942 and 1945 he contributed to Front, the propaganda photo journal of the Tōhō-sha company.[4]


Recognition


By 1955 one of Hiroshi Hamaya's photographs, a high-angle view of kimono-clad springtime dancers led by his wife, was included by curator Edward Steichen in the world-touring Museum of Modern Art exhibition The Family of Man that was seen by more than 9 million visitors.

In 1956, Hamaya published his acclaimed photobook "Snow Country" (Yukiguni) featuring photographs of Japan's frigid northeastern Tōhoku region in winter.

In 1960, Hamaya took part in the massive Anpo protests against revision of the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty, and published a book of his photographs of the protesters titled "A Record of Anger and Sadness" (Ikari to kanashimi no kiroku), reflecting Hamaya's disappointment that the protests failed to stop the treaty.[3]

Hamaya was the first Japanese photographer to join Magnum Photos: in 1960, as an associate member.[1] He received the Master of Photography Award from the International Center of Photography (New York) in 1986.[5]

Hamaya died on 6 March 1999.[n 2]

Notes


  1. In modern script, this is 浜谷浩: Hamaya and his publishers seem to have used the older character for hama (濱) rather consistently even after the nationwide orthographic reform, but his name is sometimes found written with the simplified character.
  2. According to Hopkinson, on 15 March; according to Mihashi, on 6 March.
  3. Old orthography (then current) for shashinjutsu; in modern form this would be 写真術.
  4. The photographer or publisher's deliberate use of old orthography for henkyō; in modern form this would be 辺境.
  5. Here within CiNii.
  6. The photographer or publisher's deliberate use of old orthography for gakugei; in modern form this would be 学芸.
  7. The photographer or publisher's deliberate use of old orthography for zuisho; in modern form this would be 随処
