Chichibu

Bukoh Shimizu
Mokujisha/1972/Japanese/220*308*30

Chichibu" is a collection of photographs by Japanese photographer Takekou Shimizu. There are two main types of photographers: those who travel around Japan and abroad to produce commercial, conceptual, and documentary works, and those who stay in their hometowns to depict or create works based on the local folklore, climate, and culture. The photographer who boasts an overwhelming presence in the latter category is Shoji Ueda, a master photographer who devoted his life to the dunes of the San-in region. Like Ueda, Shimizu Bukou is a man who devoted his entire career to his hometown of Chichibu, while running a photography studio in his hometown. He published a number of books on Chichibu incidents, traditional performing arts, folk beliefs, lifestyles, and climate, mainly during the 1960s and 1970s, and at the same time devoted himself to the protection of Chichibu's nature. This book, published in 1968, is Shimizu's masterpiece. According to Shimizu, because of the characteristics of the Chichibu basin, there is always a “darkness” or “shadow” somewhere in every photograph, but it is in this darkness or shadow that the light shines more beautifully, and it is this light that beautifully illuminates the true nature of human life. The darkness and shadows and the richness of the photogravure printing are a perfect match in this wonderful book.
