Rinko Kawauchi - Cui Cui - 2005

Description
Offered here is Cui Cui by Rinko Kawauchi, one of Japan’s most internationally celebrated contemporary photographers. First published by Foil (Tokyo) in March 2005, this edition captures Kawauchi’s signature style: luminous, poetic color images that transform everyday family life and fleeting memories into timeless visual narratives.

With a tender and meditative eye, Kawauchi documents intimate scenes — grandparents, children, seasonal landscapes, and domestic details — weaving them into a gentle story of life’s transience and beauty. Cui Cui is considered one of her key works, following her acclaimed earlier titles Utatane and Hanabi.

This beautifully produced photobook quickly became a collector’s favorite upon release and remains highly sought after in the international photobook market.
