Jun Abe has been active since the mid-1980s, but it wasn't until Citizens was published in 2009 that anyone took notice. Kokubyaku Note is his follow-up. Haruto Hoshi's work was recently featured in New Yorker, but it doesn't match the intensity of his work collected in Luminance of Streets. Any book from Michio Yamauchi could be listed here -- for a representative sampling, Tokyo 2005-2007 is a good place to start.
Yasuhiro Ishimoto is not normally considered a street photographer these days, but the street has informed his work for a long time. Shibuya, Shibuya is a wonderful collection of street subjects via their clothing. In Analog Days, American John Harding reminds us how compelling good color street photography can be. The photographer Masumi Kura might be diminutive in stature but her eponymous Kura is anything but.
