写真と言葉の波打ち際に、永遠が立ち上がる
Shore
Yuki Shimizu
"Shore" by Yuki Shimizu is a mixture of narratives by various beings. Included in this photo book are photographs she took on her travels along the water's edge, words inspired by old stories she learned there and memories of others, and images generated by the decomposition of negative film with mold and sea water.
Water is an essential part of people's lives, but at the same time, it is a source of great misery. In rural Japan, people have long worshipped rivers as dragons and offered sacrifices in reservoirs. Although the tsunami killed many people, we cannot give up our hope and faith in something that comes from beyond the sea.
Such experiences led Yuki Shimizu on a journey to pursue the spirituality of beings living by the water.
In the mountains of Japan, she photographed rivers where princesses who committed suicide by entering the water became dragon gods, ponds where sacrifices were made. She photographed the underground waters of Israel, people singing the joy of water, the ruins of an oasis town in Uzbekistan, and the desert where an ancient lake dried up in New Mexico. Along the way, she collected folklore about dragon gods and sacrifices, records of floods, tsunamis, and flood control, and wrote stories inspired by them.
Yuki Shimizu emphasized the coincidence and abstraction of snapshots and created narratives to more clearly show the presence of unexpected others reflected in the photographs. The words do not express her mental images, nor are they a direct description of the subject, but a re-telling of the landscape.
The photograph only captures the present, but by adding the words, she adds interference from the time axis after the photo was taken to the photo that captures a moment in the past. As a result, the landscape is vividly alive with the presence of someone who may have been there seconds, decades, or centuries ago.
They speak of the universal fears and expectations felt by people living near water.
-------
In winter the algae brown, and the green bugs perish If they are properly connected to the sea
They'll be born again with spring
You ate the green bugs as you cleaned the garden the reason you will come back here in the spring
I found the whole place filled with foam of the waves You are standing on the waves
If I speak to you now
I'll never leave the shore
Text by Yuki Shimizu

風景の深度と共振し、存在を観る画業の集大成
AURA
Shunei Nishida
This title "AURA" features the representative works of Japanese painter Shunei Nishida, who continues to paint while treading on a single path, along with his latest work based on the primeval forests of Yakushima Island.
Born near the pristine forests of Ise Grand Shrine and mentored by Togyu Okumura, his lodestar, and Hideo Shiode, an exemplar of the conscience of a painter, Nishida has been guided by everything in the natural world, from a single drop of clear water and the stars in the night sky to the microorganisms beneath fallen leaves. His deep connection to nature allows him to depict the spirituality and universality of the world, including the intangible and the fantastical, expressing the beauty of existence.
There was a period when Nishida, who had fallen into an artistic slump, and avoiding people, he secluded himself around Mt. Tanigawa to immerse himself in sketches. Up to then, Nishida had relied on his imagination for his paintings, but in this period, he recognized again the importance of realistic representation.
Nishida sketched everything he could think of -- landscapes, animals, people and so on -- awakening himself to their potential for art.
Since 2000, Nishida has contact with Japan's beautiful nature around Hiroshima and other areas in the Chugoku region and to attempt classical motifs such as cranes and cherry blossoms in his paintings. He also tried creating his own new style of bird-and-flower painting.
In 2022, he moved to Yakushima Island for a year, aspiring to create a 70-meter-long masterpiece that delves into the island's history, the cycle of life, and the impacts of logging and development on the pristine forests. A work in progress titled "The Phoenix" reflects everything in the environment, with a meticulous and free brush, and it questions the relationship between nature and humans.
Praying is painting - this book is a culmination of the artist history and view of the work world, where they resonate with each other.
------------
My mother was forever overworked. She spent her entire life only working without respite. For me, growing up seeing my mother work like that, I think of painting itself as work. Painting is often demanding but I believe that is what working is. If I murmur that I want to take a rest, I then feel someone is telling me: "Well, in that case, give up being a painter." I have vowed that I will follow the same path as my mother. I should just do my job and work. I believe if I do so, someday I will be able to create a work that strikes the heart. Has it come? To you.
------------
My mentor, Hideo Shiode, said: "Personality is never about being different from others. It is just a matter of becoming yourself." His disciple, I have relied on those words and not tried to have a distinctive personality. I have come to believe that a personality unnaturally made is only bluster and without any value. Sensei! Have I become my true self? Having entered the later stage of my life, am I painting the pictures that are really me? My mentor also told me: "A painting is not created with a brush. It is not painted by your hand." "Well, then how do I paint?" I muttered to myself when I was young. I thought that I could create a masterpiece by myself if I bring to bear all my effort and talent. But before long, I found out that was not the case. I finally realized that a painting is only the expression of my true feelings and the catalyst that keeps me alive. "Don't forget your dreams and strive to learn," my mentor told me in the last years of his life, and I have lived my life cherishing those words. I really think painting is a difficult thing. I had no idea I would have to paint so much of what lies in my heart. That is precisely why I believe it is so valuable to continue putting into practice the lessons from my mentor.
------------
God dwells in every tree and blade of grass.
Nature lives on as it is.
Yet I feel that what is happening in our human society runs counter to what we desire. Our human-centered egotistic values....
We continue cutting down trees and destroying forests.
Isn't it more important for forests to continue to be forests?
What kind of paintings bring happiness to people?
There is still so much I don't know.
（Shunei Nishida）

When he was a junior high school student, Nishida became a private pupil of the Western-style painter Kusuaki Kori.
In high school, he focused on monochromatic painting, and he was the youngest painter in Japan to be selected to show a work at the Shunyo Art Exhibition and to receive the Chubu Shunyo-kai Art Society Award, given for his painting Moonlight.
In 1973, Nishida entered the Department of Japanese Painting at Musashino Art University. While still a student, Nishida's paintings were selected for successive Nihon Bijutsuin's "Inten Exhibitions." After graduating, he continued his training under Togyu Okumura, his lodestar, and Hideo Shiode, an exemplar of the conscience of a painter.
In 1983, received the Yamatane Museum of Art Exhibition's Prize for Excellence for his painting Keman (Buddhist ritual flower decorations) depicting the transmigration of souls, which was inspired by his travel to India. The following year, he received the Grand Prize at the Tokyo Central Museum's Japanese Painting Grand Prix Exhibition for his painting Seigyu (Sacred cow), which depicts a sacred Indian white cow.
in 1993, he moved with his family for a year to India, which he had been visiting nearly every year, as an overseas researcher dispatched by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
Back in Japan, in 1995, won the Inten Taikan Award, the First Adachi Museum Award and other awards for his painting Pushkar no Rojin (Old man of Pushkar).
Nishida also made many research trips to Western Europe, and he won his second Inten Taikan Award for his painting of a driver in Spain titled Carlos. In 1998, he was named a member of the Japan Art Institute.
in 2000, Becoming a professor at Hiroshima City University
In 2002, Nishida had his first one-man exhibition at the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, and had a retrospective exhibition at Imai Museum. Since then, he has had solo exhibitions nearly every year at major department stores, museums, and elsewhere.
In 2012, Nishida won the MOA Okada Mokichi Grand Prize for his painting Hyou- Hyou Kai-Kai (Boisterous sea), which depicts solitary pine trees surviving amidst the harsh conditions and rough waters of Sea of Japan.
In 2017, he was awarded the Japan Art Academy Prize for his Mori no Sumibito (Forest dweller), which takes Yakushima Island as its motif. In the same year he was named a member of the Japan Art Academy.
In 2022, Nishida took a sabbatical leave from Musashino Art University, where he teaches, and relocated for one year to Yakushima Island, where he set up his atelier and painted to his heart's content.

街の中、つづく時間と道をたどり、たまたま出会ったひとりを見つめる
Yoyogi Park,Shibuya-ku,Tokyo
Yosuke Morimoto
Yosuke Morimoto's first photo book is featuring photographs taken from 2006 to 2023, arranged horizontally like frames of a movie reel.
This series began with an encounter in Yoyogi Park, where he approached a solitary woman, asking her if she would let him take her portrait.
Amidst the urban forest, hidden away, stands the presence of individuals. Morimoto eventually ventured beyond yoyogi park, encountering people hidden within the forest of the city, capturing both their portraits and the scenes of their surroundings through his camera lens.
The photographs, arranged chronologically, extend like a path walked, and the fleeting form, only once in existence and scenes captured through the camera linking into a continuous current path.
These womens and their surroundings carry a profound sense of fleeting yet resilient which familiar and easily overlooked, gazing back at the photographer and us.
Where are you, and what expressions do you hold within?
This is a photography book etched with the essence of an individual's existence that is often hard to perceive.
