The River Embraced Me is a collection of works by Japanese female photographer Rinko Kawauchi. In fashion terms, she is a very "real clothes" photographer, and her selection of motifs, moderately subdued expressions, composition and coloring, etc., may be said to be a central expression of the impressions held by many Japanese women. Her works could be described as "affordable contemporary art" rather than "affordable luxury". This book is a collection of works published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto in 2016. Kawauchi listened to the stories of people living in Kumamoto City and their memories, and the images were taken in the city to put them into visual form. Someone's memory becomes the photographer's memory, and through the viewer, it becomes someone else's memory. This book also resonates with the wonderfulness of Kawauchi's photographs and sensibility, which always open the door to someone's memories and hearts.
