"For the Words to Come (First Edition)," a collection of works by Takuma Nakahira, one of Japan's leading photographers. It is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of postwar Japanese photography. The following is an excerpt from the text: "I once published a photography fanzine with five friends. What we aimed for was not to demand completeness in each photograph, nor to demand that a single photograph foreshadow the entirety of the world—a role that is too burdensome for photography—and instead to pile up fragmentary images toward 'silence.' At that point, we argued that photography could cease to be 'works of art' and become anonymous material prepared for 'words to come.' But perhaps that was too presumptuous. This 'silence' may never be put into 'words.' (omitted) However, if that is the case, then the photographer must be prepared to surrender himself to the title of mere dreamer, continuing to take an infinite number of photographs for 'words' that will never be born." (Case and cover in very good condition)
