"e / ゑ (Signed)" is a photo collection by Masao Yamamoto, a photographer highly acclaimed in the West. This book is a collection of works that highlights Yamamoto's unique style, who has previously presented many installation exhibitions in which palm-sized photographs are pasted on walls. Small photographs of landscapes, plants, still lifes, nudes, and other images that have a faint, somewhat nostalgic feel are freely scattered across a large sheet of paper similar to Japanese paper, creating a unique, poetic world. This is a tranquil photo collection where the Japanese spirit and free creativity coexist. The photographer's comment is as follows: "'We' is the sound of words that represent 'kai' (meeting), 'e' (painting), 'mei' (wisdom) - the mental action of discerning and judging the truth of things, and 'we' (words expressing emotion). The strange shape of 'we', which looks more like a symbol than a letter, has always caught my sense of touch. When I learned that it is a sound with various meanings, I felt something stirring in my heart. I thought I would take a walk around 'we' for a while." Signed by the photographer .
