Masao Yamamoto Photo Book "Kurayami" + Vinyl LP (photo book and record set)

About the productJapanese

Photographer Masao Hasemoto pursues the mystique of nature and continues to challenge himself to capture the ultimate beauty that emanates from nature.

His delicate and poetic photographs and installations have been highly acclaimed internationally, and his work, with its concise and skillful composition and focus on the beauty that always lurks, is sometimes likened to haiku, which creates infinite interpretations with minimal elements. His works have been exhibited in Europe and the United States, including at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum and the European Museum of Photography, and are housed in renowned institutions such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Yale University Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In July of this year, a collection of his work, "Kurayami," was published by iikki books in France as the second collaboration between Yamamoto and musician Teru Uchida.

A single bell
The light that was sent down from heaven
Let's place it in the dark.
Searching for substance in the light,
The monk's prayer is eternal, like crawling on the ground.
Sow the seed in my heart
