Yoshiyuki Iwase, originally jurist and director of a family-owned firm, discovered his passion for photography in the late 1920s while studying in Tokyo. Up to the 1960s he continued photographing female divers in his hometown during the summer months. His work quickly found approval and was shown in exhibitions.
