Eiju Otaki (Japanese: 大滝英二) (born 1932) was a Japanese photographer and photojournalist active in the 1950s.[1][2]

Recognition

In 1955 Edward Steichen selected Otaki's 1953 photograph of a baby asleep in a sling on mother's back for the world-touring Museum of Modern Art exhibition The Family of Man,[3] seen by 9 million visitors.[4][5] The photograph had been previously published in Ars Camera (Kamera, カメラ, published by Ars アルス) one of the older and longer running of Japanese camera magazines,[6][7] and was frequently reproduced in publications on child-rearing.[8]
