A collection of photos by Miyako Ishiuchi, a Japanese female photographer. The air and signs of the town, the appearance of the building, and the smell of people. . . Ishiuchi's early works represented by the trilogy "Zessho Yokosuka Story," "Apartment," and "City of Nights" show invisible "people's activities" through the landscape of "towns" and "buildings." The style that I continued to draw was the main focus. Ishiuchi moved to "humans" and "things" to further reduce the sense of distance from the subject, and to spin the background of humans and things and the invisible story "1.9.4"・ It was 7 ”. Since then, we have announced many masterpieces of the close-up series such as "Mother's" and "Hiroshima", but the subject of this book is "kimono." The Hyakutoku Kimono was made in various parts of Japan by mothers who wished their children to grow safely in the late Edo and early Showa eras. Kimonos made from various cloths such as scraps of parents' kimonos are filled with prayers for the love of mothers and the safety of children, and give a glimpse of the good old traditions and culture of Japan. Ishiuchi, who has a delicate feminine perspective and is good at describing silk fabrics, beautifully depicts the texture of the material, the deep color, and the handwork that is seen in careful embroidery.
