"White Wind / Free Wind (Acceptable)" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Kiyoshi Kawakami. While the details of his career are unclear, this book is his first, published in 1974. It is comprised of images taken over a period of approximately eight years between the 1960s and 1970s in Tokyo, Ibaraki, Nagano, Yamagata, and Aomori. The content is truly captivating. Set primarily in rural rather than urban areas, Kawakami's images beautifully capture the fleeting encounters between nature and humans. Rather than the typical heavy rural landscape photography, his works are light-hearted, incorporating modern sensibilities and composer-inspired elements, creating "personal landscapes" typical of works from around the 1970s. While minimizing subjective elements, the book conveys the photographer's tender feelings of love for his subjects and people. The sense of balance, moderation, and elegance of his work are captivating. Limited to 1,000 copies (but has two library stamps)
