"KIZATA" is a collection of works by Ishiuchi Miyako (1947-), one of Japan's leading female photographers. As a member of the postwar generation, Ishiuchi has developed a unique perspective on the time and memories imprinted on the body and cities, garnering international acclaim for her stark monochrome and tense compositions. This book features a series of long-term photographs of scars left on people's bodies by illness, accident, war, and other causes, meticulously capturing the texture of skin, suture marks, and shades of color. Without overexplaining the subjects' stories, Ishiuchi presents the scars themselves as evidence of time and memory, quietly highlighting moments where personal and social history intersect. Ishiuchi's gaze, where anonymity and individuality coexist, conveys to the viewer the strength of bodies that have survived pain.
