{"product_id":"tokyochrome-alex-sinclair","title":"Tokyochrome, Alex Sinclair","description":"\u003cp\u003eShowa35mm is an archive of 35mm film photographs taken in Japan between 1950-1989. It is named after the period of Showa era of Japanese history (1926-1989), in combination with the medium of 35mm photography which became popular in the post-war era. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis latter half of the Showa era is often referred to as the Japanese economic miracle (Kodo keizai seicho) due to the unexpected growth and progress seen in the country such a short time after World War II. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe restorations are done by Irish photographer and archivist Alex Sinclair. The original film is restored using chemicals, then extensive digital work is conducted to produce clear images of the golden age of Japan. Individual frames take between five and thirty hours to restore in an entirely manual process. Only original film photos are considered for inclusion in the archive, with the original negative or slide purchased to ensure the best possible restoration can be achieved. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"alexsinclair.co\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alexsinclair.co\/\"\u003ealexsinclair.co\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those that are not familiar with the project, \u003ca title=\"TLP Editions\" href=\"https:\/\/photoireland.org\/project\/tlp-editions\/\"\u003eTLP Editions\u003c\/a\u003e is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by \u003ca title=\"PhotoIreland\" href=\"https:\/\/photoireland.org\/about-photoireland\/\"\u003ePhotoIreland\u003c\/a\u003e, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications.
