"For the Words to Come (First Edition)" is a collection of works by Takuma Nakahira, one of Japan's leading photographers. It goes without saying that this is one of the masterpieces of postwar Japanese photobooks. The following is an excerpt from the book: "I used to publish a photography magazine with five friends. What we aimed for was not to seek completeness in each photograph, nor to seek a role that is too heavy for photography, such as presaging the whole picture of the world in a single photograph, but to pile up many fragmentary images toward "silence". At that time, we argued that photographs could cease to be "works" and become anonymous materials prepared for "words to come". However, this may be too arrogant. This "silence" may never be turned into "words". (Omitted) However, if that is the case, then a photographer must be prepared to dare to entrust himself to the name of a mere dreamer who continues to take infinite photographs for "words" that will never be born."
