Mizuki Yamashita 2nd Photobook 'Heroine' set 13

[tokyo-camera-style]

In a recent article for Photo and Culture Tokyo I went under-cover, so to speak- NERD ALERT: I really enjoy when photographers and designers put in effort to include images which they later cover with dust jackets. This rewards a viewer's interaction with the book as an object. Full article here:

Naoki Ishikawa Hair

石川直樹 『髪』

The title of Ishikawa's 2014 book a single kanji: "kami".

「髪」 denotes "hair"- but is also a homonym with kami 「神」. This kami in the Shinto religion refers to its deities, encompassing all holy, natural divine phenomena. 

It’s entirely possible to view Ishikawa’s lauded photographic explorations of our natural world and its human cultures as glimpse of the divine.  Here though, rather than transcendental vistas of faraway ranges or the secrets of remote island festivals, this book closely focuses on a single young woman with long, rich black hair that has a spirit of its own.
