Iwata Nakayama (1895-1949) is regarded as a one of the most important contributors to the Shinko Shashin movement. From 1918 he travelled in the the west and was attracted to avant-garde movements and moved in bohemian circles where he met Shimizu Toshi, Man Ray, Fujita Tsuguji, and Enrico Prompolini. These encounters left a deep impression on him and when he returned to Japan in 1927 he energetically set about forming his own vision of ‘pure art photography’. In 1929 he settled in Ashiya (nr. Kobe) and in the following year founded the Ashiya Camera Club with Hanaya Kambei, Korai Seiji, and others. This club became the main driving force of New Photography in Japan. Together with Kimura and Nojima he founded Koga magazine in 1932 that was the most important forum for artistic photography at the time.
