Japanese photographer Masao Yamamoto, known for his beautiful prints and unique atmosphere in works themed on nature and humanity, has garnered high praise both domestically and internationally for his distinctly Japanese aesthetic. In recent years, he has exhibited in galleries around the world, becoming one of the most talked-about Japanese artists. This book, "Small Things, in Silence," is a collection of Yamamoto's representative works, including early photographs that were also included in his two photobooks, "Empty Box" and "E," published by the American publisher Nazraeli Press. In the introduction, Yamamoto states, "I think I have been strongly drawn to and have focused on the joy of discovering small things and trivial events that might be overlooked, the feeling of something being buttoned incorrectly, and the moment of losing one's place in the mist that one unexpectedly enters." He describes his style of expression as "a way of conveying things like illusions," but while the images of nature appear vague and expansive, they evoke a beauty that combines etherealness and sublimity. A photographic world that only Yamamoto can express unfolds. Japanese edition. Published in 2021, newly revised edition. Signed by the photographer .
