George Hashiguchi - Yume/Dream - 1997

“Dream” by George Hashiguchi is a fascinating exploration of human emotions and daily life in Japan. This large-format photo book presents a collection of 97 black-and-white portraits of people who have lived through four periods of Japan: Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and Heisei.
Each photograph is accompanied by information about the portrait subject, providing context and strengthening the bond between viewer and subject.

Through intimate black-and-white portraits, Hashiguchi captures fleeting moments of introspection, vulnerability, and quiet tension, revealing the depth and complexity of his subjects. The layout allows each image to speak for itself, creating a meditative experience that leads the viewer into the subtle poetry of everyday life across generations.
