Masahisa Fukase

was a Japanese photographer, celebrated for his work depicting his domestic life with his wife Yōko Wanibe and his regular visits to his parents' small-town photo studio in Hokkaido. He is best known for his 1986 book ''Karasu'' (''Ravens'' or ''The Solitude of Ravens''), which in 2010 was selected by the ''British Journal of Photography'' as the best photobook published between 1986 and 2009. Since his death in 2012 there has been a revival of interest in Fukase's photography, with new books and exhibitions appearing that emphasize the breadth and originality of his art.
