AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a two-book set of Rinko Kawauchi’s iconic early works, “Utatane” and “Hanabi.”
Both titles were first published in 2001 and quickly established Kawauchi as one of the most poetic and influential voices in contemporary Japanese photography.

These copies are later printings (Utatane: 2020 / Hanabi: 2024), not first editions, but the content and design remain faithful to the original publications.

Kawauchi’s work is known for its soft light, quiet everyday moments, and a dreamlike sense of transience.
These two books — often collected together — represent the foundation of her international reputation.

Condition:
Both books are in good overall condition.
Please note: the obi (paper wrap band) of Hanabi has a small tear.
Refer to photos for details.
