Obi and Sand, Kyoto/Enoshima | Yoshio Mizoguchi | Sokyusha 2024 [SIGNED]

"On a summer afternoon, walking down a narrow alley in Pontocho, a geisha in a white kimono walks through the suffocating hot sun. The woman always has a large sash around her middle, and moves in a flowing manner. It is as if the woman's joys and sorrows are tied around her waist." From the afterword

Sexual passion and a gaze into the world. A pure photo book that makes you think that to live is to take pictures.
