Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The photobook Across the Sea consists of photographs taken by Yoko Kusano during her first stay in London.For Kusano, whose photography captures everyday lifes intricacies in sharp detail, it is her first contact with the city and its sights. Her story begins from somewhat distant viewpoint, but gradually Kusano accepts the muted loneliness she feels in this new world and begins to react purely and harmoniously to everything her eyes encounter.Her gaze somewhat blurred and sleepy, her vision yet lights up occasionally. The loneliness of London is the same loneliness she had known in Tokyo, after moving there on her own from her home in Fukushima. What Kusano sees before her is, after all, nothing but the same present moment as it exists anywhere else in the world.With great care, roshin books has combined Kusanos experiences into a single photobook.Born in Fukushima in 1993 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A deep fog usually envelops Mount Kirigamine (literally Summit of Fog). Once the mountain is covered by the fog, all boundaries disappear, and the fog seems to extend into infinity.A while ago, the mountain was home to a ski resort, large enough to include two ski jumping platforms. The mountain was a candidate to play host to the Olympic Winter Games. Further back in time, the entire mountain was once designated as hunting grounds. The Kamakura shogunate 800 years ago organized large hunting events in which the samurai competed with each other. Shinto rites held at temple ruins still remaining in the mountain pastures convey these ancient times to our present age.Today, too, there are a number of building complexes on the mountain that have outlived their usefulness. These abandoned structures appear like fresh ruins that will tell future generations of our times.Trace is a word used in mountaineering. It is used to denote alterations made by those who came before you. As climbers move through a mountain, they effect various changes. Paths change or disappear. They overlap each other like layers on a rock bed, their surface covered by the fog.The fog lasts mere moments. It comes then disappears. It seems to swallow all and everything but soon vanishes into nothingness. It reminds me of our human existence. Ancient ruins and present buildings, too, are only transient presences on the mountains surface. Measured in the time scale of the mountain, humanitys traces are but a momentary presence, just like fog.Fog has no beginning, no end. I follow the path, looking for the traces it has left behind.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Ayako Endos photobook Swaying Flowers deals with one of the most ubiquitous themes in visual media flowers. Endo, whose work as a photographer range from the world of art to the world of fashion, took a unique approach to capturing her subjects. After taking photographs of flowers, she printed them on fabric, tore the fabric surrounding the images, and scanned the results. This elaborate process softens the mechanical nature of the photographic images and produces captivating colors and textures that almost add an element of touch to the act of seeing. Endos subjects subjects range from simple bouquets to wild bushes and tended gardens. Whether close-up, blurred or well-composed, there is an immediacy and directness to her images that contrasts with the conventionally serene (or sexually charged) atmosphere of flower photography.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Roshin Books seventh publication focuses on Japanese photographer Shin Yanagisawa (1936-2008), whose photography was highly regarded by contemporaries such as Daido Moriyama and Ryuichi Kaneko. From 1963 on, after having recovered from an illness, Yanagisawa focused on photographing a variety of places throughout Japan. It was Yanagisawas philosophy to create photos that require no further commentary, that already say and contain everything there is to convey.Yanagisawa held only four exhibitions in his lifetime and published only three photobooks. He chose to focus on his work at his own pace, ignoring trends in contemporary photography. In the 1970s, this work ethic has even led him to decline a request by Shoji Yamagishi, editor at the influential Camera Mainichi magazine, to publish new work.Shin Yanagisawa - Untitled?collects photography shot throughout Japan between the years 1965 and 1992 and includes a short essay by Naomi Yanagimoto in Japanese and English Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In 2011 Joergen Axelvall moved to Tokyo after living in NYC for 15 years. The work in Go To Become is Axelvalls expression of his feelings as a newcomer to Japan. It is in every aspect biographical. The oxymoronic combination of feeling excluded and lonely on the crowded streets of Tokyo led Axelvall to seek out desolate and quiet environments. These places soon became his personal sanctuaries where he would find refuge and peace of mind from the hustle of the city, often in the middle of night. Several of these photographs earned Axelvall the New Exposure Award from US Vogue and Bottega Veneta in 2013. When asked by the jury for a brief description Axelvall said the following:I live in a big citythe biggest in the world by some measureIm a foreigner hereat times I feel trapped, alienated and lonelyamongst the millions of people calling this homeThese images were all photographed in central Tokyonot far from my home in Shibuyaat the sanctuarieswhere I find peaceA lover of poetry and literature, Axelvall later teamed up with Mutsuo Takahashi, one of the most prominent and prolific poets in contemporary Japan. With more than 130 books published, including dozens of poetry collections, Takahashis poetry successfully spans all the major Japanese poetic forms. After listening to Axelvalls story and looking at the photographs, Takahashi wrote the poem Go To Become [in Japanese ?????] specially for this project.
