    A photography revolution by Japanese collective Vivo – The Eye of Photography

    Vivo was a Japanese photographer’s collective founded by Shomei Tomatsu, Eikoh Hosoe, Ikko Narahara, Kikuji Kawada, Akira Sato and Akira Tanno. Although Vivo was active only from 1959 until 1961, it culminated a movement in postwar Japanese photography called “the image school” with roots dating back to the early 1950s that anticipated and profoundly influenced Japanese photographic style of the 1960s and 1970s.
