From Michael Kimmelman's (I reluctantly link) review of the Shomei Tomatsu retrospective at the Japan Society:

Japan's pre-eminent photographer of the postwar era, Mr. Tomatsu is a master of a kind of redolent ambiguity that speaks both to his subject, which is life in Japan, and also to the nature of photography, which always shows tantalizingly more than it can explain. As photographers like William Klein, Garry Winogrand and Robert Frank defined their era in America, Mr. Tomatsu has defined his in Japan, but the work does something more than that, too.
