"Yoko (New Edition)," a photobook by Masahisa Fukase, one of Japan's leading photographers. The motifs that Masahisa Fukase has projected himself onto are "Ravens," "Cats," "Father," and "Family." In recent years, the reclusive photographer Masahisa Fukase has been gaining popularity with the publication of reprints of "Ravens" and re-edited works of the "Cats" series by publishers both in Japan and abroad. And, just as important a motif as ravens and cats, and an indispensable subject in Fukase's career as a photographer, is his ex-wife, "Yoko." This book is a long-awaited new edition of a precious book published in 1978 after his separation from Yoko. Behind the "coolness" and "beauty" in Fukase's photographs, there is a certain "loneliness" and "melancholy," and glimpses of himself can also be seen. Of course, this is also true of this work, but the intimacy and a sense of "warmth" and "joy" that can be felt with the woman he spent many years with is also appealing. After his divorce from Yoko, Fukase returned to his hometown in Hokkaido and continued his solitary journey. The crows he encountered and would later pursue also make occasional appearances.
