Tokyo · Photobooks · Since 1986
Sokyusha (蒼穹舎) is a photography publisher, bookseller and gallery business in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The company was set up on December 8, 1986, and Michitaka Ota is its representative. Sokyusha publishes photobooks in small editions, mostly of 250 to 400 copies. Michitaka Ota is credited as editor on its recent titles. The site announces when a title is sold out or reprinted. Books are sold directly by phone or email, and direct orders of its own books ship free. The website also has pages for the gallery and for new arrivals.
Every night, Sakaguchi Tomoyuki waited at empty intersections. He stood there with a tripod, often for hours, in the quiet streets of Tama New Town. Photography Book Spotlight
