A photo book "Rain" by Japanese photographer Hajime Sawatari. After graduating from the Department of Art and Photography, worked as an assistant for Yutaka Takanashi before becoming a freelancer. Since then, he has been active in numerous famous magazines as a fashion photographer, and in the 1970s, he made a name for himself by publishing innocent, beautiful, and sometimes fantastic portraits of girls and women. We continue to be active on the front lines. This book is a photo book published in 2016, and as the title suggests, it shows Tokyo in the rain. A heavy sky covered in clouds, a night city with brake lights and neon lights trailing light, a shadow crossing with an umbrella, rain splashing and splashing on the ground, colorful umbrellas adding color to the grayish landscape... …It cuts out the scene of the rainy city regardless of day or night. A melancholic mood, a sophisticated composition, and bokeh and blur that are boldly incorporated like an abstract painting. Sawatari's sensibility is clear and wonderful content. "Tokyo. Rainy Day. Hajime Sawatari's overwhelming new frontier, vividly capturing the momentary features of the city and people beyond the line of sight blurred in the pouring rain" (from the obi). There are stains and damage on the case and band .
