Hiroshi Hamaya (濱谷 浩^{[n 1]},Hamaya Hiroshi, 28 March 1915 – 6 or 15 March 1999^[1]) was a Japanesephotographer active from 1935 to 1999.^[2] In particular, Hamaya was known for his photographs of rural Japan.^[3]

Hamaya was born inShitaya, Tokyo, Japan, on 28 March 1915.^[2] Between 1942 and 1945 he contributed toFront, the propaganda photo journal of the Tōhō-sha company.^[4]

By 1955 one of Hiroshi Hamaya's photographs, a high-angle view of kimono-clad springtime dancers led by his wife, was included by curatorEdward Steichen in the world-touringMuseum of Modern Art exhibitionThe Family of Man that was seen by more than 9 million visitors.

In 1956, Hamaya published his acclaimed photobook "Snow Country" (Yukiguni) featuring photographs of Japan's frigid northeasternTōhoku region in winter.^{[citation needed]}

In 1960, Hamaya took part in the massiveAnpo protests against revision of theU.S.-Japan Security Treaty, and published a book of his photographs of the protesters titled "A Record of Anger and Sadness" (Ikari to kanashimi no kiroku), reflecting Hamaya's disappointment that the protests failed to stop the treaty.^[3]

Hamaya was the first Japanese photographer to joinMagnum Photos: in 1960, as an associate member.^[1] He received the Master of Photography Award from theInternational Center of Photography (New York) in 1986.^[5]

Hamaya died on 6 March 1999.^{[n 2]}
