    Toshiko Okanoue was an active photographer in 1950s Japan who produced eye-catching collages from magazine clippings. Her style was initially coincidentally similar to aspects of European surrealism. After meeting the leader of Japan's surrealist movement, her sensitivity to shape and feminine sensibility evolved further. She began incorporating photographs into her collages to create backgrounds for images combining buildings, landscapes, and other elements into bizarre and mysterious spaces where dramas unfold. Her use of fashion and society fragments reflected the era and were a major part of her creative process.

    Toshiko Okanoue was active in the 1950s, producing eye-catching collages made from magazine
    clippings. The parallels between her compositions and aspects of European surrealism was
    purely coincidental at first, but after meeting Shuzo Takiguchi, the leader of the surrealist
    movement in Japan, her keen sensitivity to shape and distinct feminine sensibility evolved further.
    She began to use photos to form backgrounds to her images, in which buildings, landscapes, and
    other elements combine to create bizarre and mysterious spaces where dramas unfold. Her
    expressive fragments, mementos of society and fashion which in turn reflect the era, are a major
    element in her creativity.
