"Mr. Kohei Yoshiyuki" is the correct way to call him. "Yoshiyuki" is his family name. "吉行(Yoshiyuki)　耕平(Kohei)" in kanji. The same with a Japanese novelist Yoshiyuki Jun'nosuke(吉行　淳之介). The Times is wrong to call him Mr Yoshiyuki in print. How illiterate the Times is. "Mr. Kohei Yoshiyuki" is the correct way to refer to him in every reference. "Yoshiyuki" is his family name. "吉行(Yoshiyuki)　耕平(Kohei)" in kanji. The same with a Japanese novelist Yoshiyuki Jun'nosuke(吉行　淳之介). I had to laugh. Certainly, he was a famous photographer in 1970s and 80s but I don't think his photos are worth something. Is the American art scene all right ? (?_?) Yes, I too think his photos are "yarase". He was among young and ambitious photographers in 1970s so it was likely that he committed "yarase". Yarase means staged. this comments are from a Japanes friend in Tokyo. The Times critic and the Times reader got taken by these staged photos. What's wrong with USA today?

In the 1970's a Japanese photographer Kohei Yoshiyuki , pen name for _______,. did some FAKED STAGED YARASE documentary photography of people having sex in a public park in Tokyo. Critic of NYTimes got fooled bigtime.
