Born in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture in 1914, photographer Koichi Uchimura (1914-1993) developed an interest in photography from a young age, starting with a one-yen camera that was popular at the time. In 1940, he was conscripted into the Kwantung Army and stationed in Fengtian, China, where he took approximately 3,000 photographs over two years, capturing portraits of local people who were bravely surviving the harsh life imposed by the war, as well as the beautiful landscapes of Fengtian. After the war, he returned to Japan with over thirty rolls of film, but burned the rest himself. After returning to Japan, he ran his family's printing business in Hanamaki City while also exhibiting at international salon exhibitions and winning numerous awards. He retired as a photographer in 1969, but dedicated himself to nurturing the next generation of photographers, including forming the photography club "Koyukai." Although he is a photographer rarely mentioned in the history of Japanese photography, the poet Kotaro Takamura (1883-1956), whom he revered as his mentor, called him the "poet of light" and highly praised his work. This is one of the photographs included in the "Koichi Uchimura Photographs" and was also a prize-winning work at the Amsterdam International Salon. On the back of the print, there is a dedication signature and commentary on the photograph, likely addressed to someone Uchimura was close to at the time.
"The Woman Thief"
In the outskirts of Fengtian, I captured a woman desperately clinging to her life. She had stolen something from a street vendor and was on the run. The look on her face in that fleeting moment, as if she were terrified of her pursuers. Whenever I remember that woman, whose circumstances forced her to act that way, I am always filled with a painful sadness.
