Magnum Poster: Courtyard of the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan, 1951 Framing:Unframed which were otherwise cut offWerner Bischof was given the assignment of photographing the war in Korea in 1951. The job took him through Japan, a country that won his heart. Bischof stayed in Japan for almost a year, discovering the countrys beauty and purity of design and ritual that must have reminded him of his early studio days. The subject matter and the photographers sensitive, considered approach complement each other perfectly. Pictured here, courtyard of the Meji shrine
