A collection of works by Japanese photographer Atsushi Okuyama (1972-), Benzo (Signed). After working for a publishing company in Tokyo, he moved to Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture, and began his career as a photographer. He is a talented photographer who has won numerous awards, including the Ina Nobuo Award and the Hayashi Tadahiko Award, for his work on the climate and culture of Tohoku, as well as photo documentaries. This masterpiece, published privately in 2018 and awarded the Newcomer Award from the Photographic Society of Japan, is a documentary that follows a man named Benzo Inoue, who lived a self-sufficient life in Shintotsukawa Town, Hokkaido, had a beautiful garden with his own unique aesthetic sense, and continued to paint in a small log cabin throughout his life. He met Benzo when he was working at a publishing company, and lived a beautiful life in a rural town. And as he continued to face his lifestyle, which sometimes involved painting in his studio, he was increasingly drawn to his personality and generosity, and in the end, Benzo made him think about the "meaning of life." And the photographer makes us realize that it wasn't him who was facing him, but rather that Benzou was accompanying and accompanying us. This is a truly profound and wonderful documentary. Limited to 300 copies. Signed by the photographer .
