A handmade photo book, of observations made during a road trip between Kagawa and Nagano.
“I focussed on creating combinations of photographs that are playful, and represent the connections I felt between nature, love, intimacy, the architecture, the spirituality and the atmosphere we encountered.
“As with my previous book, Rock Pile of the Summer Dwelling, it’s a portrait of the subtle relationships between things, between form, light, and memory. It’s a love story, a time in a place, and I suppose me, all entangled.”
Every page in the book conceals a gatefold spread, folding outward to reveal an image or diptych underneath.
The book is bound using a four hole stab method, with a Kangxi variation, where stitching covers the corner pieces.
The cover image is engraved into the cover itself, revealing depth and detail from different angles.
The book is printed using a risograph machine, a Japanese process that is a cross between screenprinting and xerography, which lends each page a tactile, textural richness. Inspired by wabi-sabi, I embrace the irregularities that emerge through the riso process. The soy ink bleeds and smudges in places, the surface of the print is grainy and imperfect and gives each page a timeworn presence.
The book is housed in a slipcase, where the title and other details are engraved into the case itself. A small die cut window on the front reveals the cover image of the book inside. The window is the shape of the Kōgetsudai, from Ginkaku-ji temple in Kyoto.
A special edition is available, which comes with a limited edition silver gelatin print.
