Domon Ken, il Cartier-Bresson giapponese in mostra all’Ara Pacis
Ha fotografato mezzo secolo di storia del Giappone, i 50 anni che hanno trasformato il Paese del Sol Levante in modo ancora più radicale che in Occidente. Cambiamenti passati attraverso una guerra tragica conclusa nel modo peggiore, i “test nucleari” americani sulla popolazione civile di due città. Ma Domon Ken (1909-1990) ha raccontato anche le città e le persone, le tradizioni e l’arte dei templi buddisti.
