"Landscapes of Memory" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Osamu Murai. Murai Osamu is one of Japan's leading postwar architectural photographers, and also renowned for his photographic work on sculptors and artworks. He shot serial covers for the magazine "Z," which featured Jakucho Setouchi and others, and worked on architectural photographs of Kenzo Tange, Kunio Maekawa, and Seiichi Shirai, as well as sculptures by the world-renowned artist Masayuki Nagare, which began as a result of a chance encounter. He also worked actively as a photographer for international magazines such as LIFE and FORTUNE, and his name appears in numerous collections of architecture and sculpture works from the postwar 1960s onward. This book is a self-published photo collection by this architectural and sculpture photographer in 1989. Three years after working as an assistant to his father, the photographer's daughter came across over 100 rolls of film. Among them were snapshots taken during his early apprenticeship. The snapshots taken by the photographer in his twenties, who worked with a cool, steely gaze, capture the original cityscapes lost during the period of rapid economic growth, as well as records of people with an outstanding sense of form and a wealth of pathos and humor.
