Koji Morooka (1914-1991) was a post-war photographer. He mainly photographed Tokyo, especially Ginza. In 1936, he joined ARS & Co., Ltd. and became editor-in-chief of Camera Club magazine, then editor-in-chief of Shashin Bunka magazine in 1941. He won the Photographic Society of Japan's Year of the Year Award in 1973.
The book "Remembrance of Tokyo" presents Tokyo and its inhabitants between 1935 and 1972. Included here are images documenting ordinary citizens, shops and homes, urban monuments, imperial processions, panoramas of World War II ruins, war refugees living in underground shelters, urban renewal, the Olympic Games, and the new skyscrapers and expressways that reshaped the city's social and physical landscape.
