Born in Osaka in 1939, Mochizuki Masao graduated from the Tokyo College of Photography in 1963, in the same class as Issei Suda and Kazuhiko Motomura, who went on to found Yugensha publishing house in 1971. His work remained relatively discreet until the exhibition Television 1975–1976 at the P.G.I. Shibaura Gallery in Tokyo in 1998, which earned him the Photographic Society of Japan Award in 1999. The publication of the book of the same title brought him late but lasting international recognition. His works are held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York.
