YamamotoKansuke was active between the eras of the daguerreotype and the disposable camera, specifically from 1931 to 1987.
Kansuke often exhibited these photos from the late 1950s on, under the bandwagon of "concrete" or "visual poetry." The word surrealism was passe to the VOU group from the mid-1930s.
YamamotoKansuke was influenced in style by Kitasono Katue and other VOU poets, both in the methods he used to achieve discontinuity and in the type of quasi-scientific vocabulary that was favored at the time as innovative.
