“Journey to the Tobacco Shop on the Corner” collects photographies taken by Issei Suda of the surrounding few hundred of a local hospital he was confined to due to a chronicle disease (the photos were serialised in “Camera Mainichi” magazine in 1980). This book is great example of the underlying core philosophy that makes Suda’s photography stand out from his peers: “Even reaching the tobacco shop a hundred meters down the road becomes a journey.”
