This volume compiles the work of a photographer who passed away suddenly at the age of 43 in 1976, curated posthumously by his fellow photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYasuji Yaguchi was born in Tokushima Prefecture in 1933. He worked in the construction industry and began taking photographs at the age of 39. He joined the Naruto Binboke Club, the Japan Professional Photographers Society (Naruto branch), and the Japan Realist Photographers Association (Tokushima branch), capturing a vast number of photographs in just a few short years while interacting with artists like Shinzo Maeda and Bon Fujii.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was published after Yaguchi's death at the suggestion of his fellow photographers. Shinzo Maeda, Koji Hashimoto, and Yoichi Kamiyama were involved in its editing and production, selecting 108 photographs from a collection of approximately 30,000. It is composed primarily of works presented in solo exhibitions and at the \"Shiten\" (Viewpoint) exhibition, including series such as \"Wind,\" \"Indigo House,\" and \"Scars.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis profound respect for Ken Domon, the tradition of realist photography, and his gaze upon the land and people of Tokushima are layered with his unique, construction-honed ability to perceive structure, as well as his sensitivity to natural light, the forms of objects, and the subtle signs of daily life. While rooted in documentary photography, the book also features works with sculptural compositions and scenes suggestive of landscapes of the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end of the book includes essays such as \"Yasuji Yaguchi and the Yoshino River\" by Tomomi Ito and \"The Naked Eye and Beginner's Mind\" by Bon Fujii, along with an afterword by Shinzo Maeda and a photographic chronology. It is a photobook that summarizes the work Yaguchi produced during his short career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Title] Kaze (Wind)\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] Gendai Shashin Kenkyujo (Contemporary Photo Institute)\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] June 23, 1977\u003cbr\u003e[Pages] 136 pages\u003cbr\u003e[Dimensions] Approx. 266 × 231 × 23 mm \/ Approx. 1000g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e[Language] Japanese\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] Kaze\u003cbr\u003e[Authors\/Editors, etc.] Yasuji Yaguchi\/Author, Shinzo Maeda\/Editor \u0026amp; Producer, Koji Hashimoto\/Producer, Yoichi Kamiyama\/Producer, Tomomi Ito\/Text, Bon Fujii\/Text, Masahito Fukushima\/Text, Fumei Abe\/Text, Shoichi Yoshinari\/Text\u003cbr\u003e[Printing\/Binding] Koyo Printing\/Printing\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] -\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Pre-owned [7] Good+ (Slipcase: slight dent on back, faint stains; Cover: faint stains; Main volume: faint stains on edges)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] Slipcase\u003cbr\u003e[Featured In] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibition] -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bunbuku.tokyo\/collections\/vendors?q=%E3%82%84%E3%81%90%E3%81%A1%E3%82%84%E3%81%99%E3%81%98%EF%BD%9C%E7%9F%A2%E5%8F%A3%E4%BF%9D%E4%BA%8C+%2F+YAGUCHI+Yasuji\"\u003eYasuji Yaguchi (1933–1976)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Aizumi-cho, Itano-gun, Tokushima Prefecture in 1933.
