"Cloud" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Shoichiro Suzuki. Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1916, Shoichiro Suzuki began working at the Japan Meteorological Agency in 1927. He joined the All Japan Photographic Association around 1930 and began photographing clouds. His work was featured in many science textbooks for elementary, junior high, and high school students. His work, taken as a hobby and research, has become a highly artistic work through the dialogue between the photographer and nature, and the profound depth of photogravure printing has resulted in a wonderful collection of works. The following is from the afterword: "After 35 years of photographing clouds, 10,000 sheets of film have quietly settled in my negative holder and tell a silent history. Some negatives record my honor as a photographer. Some clouds are used in textbooks and reference books, and I discuss the weather with children studying them. Each of the 10,000 photographs confirms the history of the weather at that time and day, and is engraved with my living testimony as I have fought against the clouds."
