Holy Night by Issei Suda

Chose Commune

A photobook by Japanese photographer Issei Suda. 

This book contains a series of photographs taken by Issei Suda on the night of Christmas Eve in 1991 in Tokyo. In 1993, eight prints from the series were published in a magazine under the title "Holy Night", but since then, the 11x14 prints of this series have been stored without being published or exhibited anywhere until this publication.

"I wonder how many Japanese people actually think of Jesus Christ on Christmas. We just observe Christmas Eve by buying cake and bringing it home to eat; lovers spend it together as the most romantic night of the year. These kinds of customs have become the norm. I could suddenly play the part of the righteous Buddhist and call everyone out on it – You dumbasses, you aren’t even Christians – but it feels like it’d be a waste."─Issei Suda (1991)
