AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Through monochrome images of great power, Ken Domon captures the timeless essence of Japan's traditional puppet theatre.
Fidelity to his philosophy of absolute realism, he comes as close as possible to the action. His photographs focus on the details of the carved faces of the puppets, which seem to come to life, and the dramatic symbiosis between the puppet and its three manipulators.
This series is part of the photographer's project: to immortalize and preserve the Japanese spirit through its cultural heritage.
The intensity of the chiaroscuro he uses reveals the tragic depth of Bunraku plays.
First edition, 1973.
A significant angular impact affecting all pages with the upper-right corner in the non-illustrated section (see photos).
No delivery to the United States due to new legislation.
