Kōrō Honjō
Kōrō Honjō was a renowned Japanese photographer. In 1937, he co-founded the Avant-Garde Image Group with Yoshifumi Hattori, Gingo Hanawa, Tarui Yoshio, and Terushichi Hirai, a circle dedicated to experimental photographic expression. The Osaka section of the 2022 Tokyo Photographic Art Museum exhibition Avant-Garde Rising: The Photographic Vanguard in Modern Japan later discussed the group as part of the Kansai avant-garde.
