Mangaland: A Tokyo Retrospective, marking photographer James Whitlow Delano‘s 20 years working in Japan.
Since he visited the city of Tokyo in the spring of 1993 at a friend’s urging, James Whitlow Delano has become one of the most informed photographic eyes on Japanese culture. Delano’s substantial oeuvre of photography in Asia, characterized by his ethereal use of vignette and partial defocus, present a complex tableau of a society at once jaded yet naive, resilient yet vulnerable.
James Whitlow Delano, born 1960, is an American photographer based in Tokyo, Japan. As one of today’s foremost photographers of Asia, his work has appeared worldwide in numerous magazines and photo festivals from Visa Pour L’Image to Rencontres D’Arles to Noorderlicht, and has been awarded internationally, including the Alfred Eisenstadt Award (from Columbia University and LIFE magazine), Leica’s Oskar Barnack, Picture of the Year International, NPPA, and PDN, among many others.
