A photo collection by Japanese female photographer Yoshino Oishi, "Hanamoshi / Silent Flowers". Yoshino Oishi studied photography at the Nihon University College of Art, Department of Photography, and was deeply impressed by her visit to Vietnam during her student days. Upon graduation, she began photographing the world as a freelance documentary photographer. She continues to record the aftermath of people who have experienced extreme situations such as war and civil war. This book, like Oishi's first photo collection, "Kureba Yoinoda Harunado wa" (1973), is a book on the subject of "Japanese women". It took five years to shoot the four models, but the women, with their faces painted white and their kimonos open to expose their upper bodies, are depicted with a unique worldview along with fantastical scenes such as old houses, snowy landscapes, and cherry trees. "I think it was when I was in my teens that I naively began to wonder, 'What is a woman?' As I picked up a camera and traveled abroad for research, I became obsessed with the strong desire to somehow visualize the emotions that 'women,' especially 'Japanese women,' possess. (Omitted) 'Hana Makushi' was born as a result of trial and error." (From the afterword). No shipping box.
