For a Language to Come

Takuma Nakahira
Fudosha/1970/japanese/215*305*25/Box and dust jacket missing

For the Coming Words (First Edition), a collection of works by Takuma Nakahira, one of Japan's leading photographers. It is one of the well-known masterpieces of postwar Japanese photography books. The following is an excerpt from the text: "I used to publish a photography coterie magazine with five friends. Our aim was not to seek completeness in each photograph, not to seek a role that was too heavy for photography, such as foreshadowing the entire world in a single photograph, and to accumulate fragmentary images one after another toward "silence. He argued that photography could then cease to be a “work of art” and become an anonymous document prepared for the "word to come. However, this may have been too much of a stretch. This “silence” may be something that will never be "verbalized. （But then, the photographer must be prepared to give himself up to the name of a mere dreamer who continues to take endless photographs for the sake of a “word” that will never be born.
