description: "Ryūji Miyamoto is a Japanese photographer, best known as the \"ruins photographer\". Having studied graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, he taught himself photography and began as an architectural journalist for magazines and newspapers. Inspired by the landscapes of post-war Japan that marked his childhood he came to reckon the imagery of destruction when he received a commission from Asahi Graph to document the demolition of the Nakano Prison in Tokyo."
