Kōrō Honjō

Kōrō Honjō (本庄 光郎, Honjō Kōrō; 1907-1995) was a renowned Japanese photographer.[1]

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.[2][3] 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.[3]
