About the Artist
Shoji UEDA 植田正治. (1913–2000) lived in Sakaimachi, (now known as Sakaiminato City), Shoji Ueda was the third and only surviving child of four children. Born and raised in Tottori prefecture, Ueda’s photographic works are both playful and meticulous constructions which depict an array of surreal and dreamlike landcapes shot against the backdrop of Tottori Sand Dunes. A master photographer, Shoji Ueda’s works are beautiful and elaborate realizations of a worldview, which remained unique and stood apart amongst the iconic developments of 1960s Japan, such as the politically radical Provoke movement.
