"1・9・4・7" is a photo collection by Japanese female photographer Ishiuchi Miyako. The atmosphere and atmosphere of the town, the appearance of the buildings, and the smell of humans. Ishiuchi's early works, such as the trilogy "Yokosuka Story," "APARTMENT," and "Nights in the City," were centered on a style that continued to depict the invisible "people's activities" through the landscape of "towns" and "buildings." This book, "1・9・4・7," was a turning point for Ishiuchi, who shifted her subject to "people" and "things," shortening the distance from the subject and weaving the background and invisible story of people and things. As the photographer, born in 1947, turned 40, what does it mean to grow old, which begins with the end of growth? The "Close-up of the Body" series was created to firmly determine the aging that lies ahead and the serious problems that will occur in the future. Starting with the photographs of Yoko, the wife of her close friend Nobuyoshi Araki, she has gone on to portraits of a total of 50 women born in 1947. Hands and feet, which we usually don't look at closely, are filled with traces of life that have been engraved into them for a long time and the beautiful expressions of each person.
