Kōyō Ishikawa
Japanese photographer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kōyō Ishikawa (石川 光陽, Ishikawa Kōyō; July 5, 1904 – December 26, 1989) was a Japanese photographer.[1]
As an officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he was virtually the only person to photograph the immediate aftermath of the U.S. bombings of Tokyo in World War II, since strict regulations prohibited civilians from taking pictures of war damage.[2][3]
