A student of Daido Moriyama at Workshop (1974–1976), Kitajima emerged as one of the defining figures in Japanese street photography of the 1970s and 1980s. His visual narrative is syncopated like a free jazz suite, its rhythm shaped by nocturnal characters who appear less as flesh-and-blood people than as fleeting epiphanies. Provocative and untamed, his photographs render visible the city's underground worlds—the hedonistic, the decadent, and the neon-lit. Moriyama himself praised Kitajima's extraordinary instinct as a photographer, calling him a street killer in broad daylight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"metabooks-dev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53679715156307,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/8898\/6963\/files\/Kitajima.png?v=1778104566"}],"url":"https:\/\/metabooks.art\/collections\/keizo-kitajima.oembed","provider":"Metabooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
