Keiichirō Gotō

Keiichirō Gotō (後藤敬一郎, Gotō Keiichirō; 1918-2004) was a Japanese photographer from Nagoya. Later summaries of his career describe him as a Nagoya-based photographer inclined toward Surrealism who pursued avant-garde expression across changing subjects and styles. After World War II, he co-founded the Nagoya photography group VIVI with Kansuke Yamamoto, Minayoshi Takada, Yoshifumi Hattori, and others, and later became associated with the Japan Subjectivist Photography League.
