[Third Edition/Signed] Small Things in Silence by Masao Yamamoto
Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto trained as an oil painter before discovering that photography was the ideal medium for the theme that most interested him―the ability of the image to evoke memories.

First released in 2015 with a second edition in 2021 and long since out of print, Small Things in Silence surveys the 20-year career of one of Japan's most important photographers. Yamamoto's portraits, landscapes and still lifes are made into small, delicate prints, which the photographer frequently overpaints, dyes or steeps in tea. Edited and sequenced by Yamamoto himself, this volume includes images from each of the photographer's major projects―Box of Ku, Nakazora, Kawa and Shizuka—as well as installation shots of some of Yamamoto's original photographic installations. In the words of Yamamoto himself: ""I try to capture moments that no one sees and make a photo from them. When I see them in print, a new story begins."" Now in its third edition, the book features a newly designed linen hardback cover with embossing and a tipped-on image.

Masao Yamamoto (born 1957) lives and works in Japan. He has published numerous books, including two previous editions of Small Things in Silence (RM/Seigensha, 2015 and 2021) and Tori (Radius Books, 2016). His work is held in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the International Center of Photography, New York, and others.
