Who? Born in Kiryū, Japan, in the aftermath of World War II, Ishiuchi Miyako is a Japanese photographer whose celebrated work includes the monumental series Yokosuka Story (1976-77). Miyako grew up in Yokosuka, a postwar city that was newly occupied by a US naval base – contributing to both her distaste for the place, and her love of pop music and denim.
