Oldschool Beauty of Japan and Peek Through History With Veteran AP Photographer Eugene Hoshiko

There’s not much to learn about Eugene Hoshiko on the web. No interviews, no bios, just decades of photojournalism. Yet the pictures themselves speak plenty

In this July 3, 2015 photo, Kimie Mihara, a survivor of the 1945 atomic bombing, looks at the Atomic Bomb Dome, as it is known today in Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, southern Japan. Built in 1915, the dome building was a rare example of Western architecture in Hiroshima at the time. Czech architect Jan Letzel designed it to be a city landmark and an exhibition hall for industrial and cultural promotion. Mihara was a worker at a government office in the dome building in 1945.

There’s not much to learn about Eugene Hoshiko on the web. No interviews, no bios, just decades worth of photojournalism. On the other hand, the pictures themselves speak plenty.

Hoshiko earned Bachelor’s in journalism at the Oregon State University in 1989. In 1994 he joined the Associated Press in Mexico. He stayed in Latin America until 1998, when he transferred to Shanghai. Finally, in 2014, he ended up in Tokyo.
