It displays 169 vintage prints, focusing on his formative years in Chicago and Japan, reflecting his unique blend of New Bauhaus formalism and Japanese aesthetics. Ishimoto, a key figure in post-war photography, is celebrated for his critical social perspective and innovative contributions to the photobook format.
