"Tsuki no Hikari Ai no Kizashi" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kotori Kawashima (1980-). Having won the Kodansha Publishing Culture Award for Photography for "Mirai-chan," and through works such as "Myojo" and "Ai no Tainan," Kawashima has captured the small miracles residing in the people around him and the landscapes he encounters on his travels, making him one of the leading photographers in contemporary Japanese photography. His works, which capture relationships with children, family, and friends with soft light and color, inherit the lineage of personal and candid photography, yet have captivated many readers with their unique intimacy and vitality. This book is a collection of works taken while traveling through Taiwan and Nara with actress Machiko Ono, who is from Nara Prefecture, and is also an important book for Kawashima as he takes his first steps into full-fledged monochrome expression. In the colorless images, moments when one pauses unexpectedly during the journey, fluctuations of inexpressible emotions, and the delicate presence of light and shadow are quietly etched. While it is a travelogue, this is not a photobook introducing places; rather, it can be described as a work that traces fragments of time and memories shared by the two. The themes of "distance between people" and "the transience of life," which Kotori Kawashima has grappled with for many years, resonate deeply through the new expression of monochrome.
