Publisher: Prestel Verlag Pages: 304 Size: 28 x 29 cm Medium: Hard cover Language: English With text by Yvonne Meyer-Lohr. Now
available in a beautiful new edition, this book presents a meditative,
arresting and dazzling collection of 240 black-and-white images of
Japan, made over almost 30 years by the internationally renowned
photographer Michael Kenna. A rocky coast along
the Sea of Japan; an immense plain of rice fields in the snow; Mount
Fuji towering over misty wooded hills; silent temples devoid of people
but brimming with Buddhist deities; a Torii gate mysteriously emerging
from moving clouds and water—these are a few images from this remarkable
collection of photographs by Michael Kenna, whose black-and-white work
is highly renowned. Forms of Japan, brilliantly designed by Yvonne
Meyer-Lohr, is organized into chapters simply titled, »Sea,« »Land,«
»Trees,« »Spirit,« and »Sky.« The quietly evocative photographs, often
paired with classic haiku poems of Basho, Buson, Issa, and others,
provide a contemplative portrait of a country better-known for its
energy and industry. Gorgeously reproduced to convey the enormous
subtleties that exist in Michael Kenna’s traditional black-and-white
silver prints, the photographs in this book include both well-known and
previously unpublished images from all corners of Japan: Hokkaido,
Honshu, Kyushu, Okinawa, and Shikoku.
