AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tsugaru は、日本の写真家 Ichiro Kojima (1924–1964) の生涯の間に刊行された唯一のフォトブックです。彼の写真と、同じ版を編集した Yojiro Ishizaka の散文、そして Kyozo Takagi の津軽弁の詩を一冊にまとめています。

Kojima’s expressive black-and-white photographs portray the landscapes and rural life of northern Japan. Snow-covered fields, villages and people enduring the harsh climate form a deeply atmospheric portrait of the region. His dramatic use of light and shadow conveys both the severity of the environment and the resilience of its inhabitants.

小島の表現的な白黒写真は、日本北部の風景と農村の生活を描き出します。雪に覆われた田畑や村落、厳しい気候に耐える人々は、その地域の深い情景を形づくります。光と影のドラマチックな使い方は、環境の厳しさと住民のたくましさの両方を伝えます。

The combination of photography, prose and regional poetry makes this a distinctive collaborative portrait of Tsugaru. The volume also includes Kojima’s own account of his photographic journeys.

写真と散文、地域詩の組み合わせは、 Tsugaru の独特な共同肖像を形づくっています。巻末には Kojima 自身の写真旅の記録も収録されています。

Complete with the original cardboard slipcase.

元の段ボール製スリップケースを付属。

Seller's Story

Totodo is a curated antiquarian bookstore based in Japan, dedicated to art books, photography, exhibition catalogues, artist publications, and rare out-of-print titles. Rather than operating as a volume-driven reseller, we approach bookselling as a form of editorial practice. Each work is carefully selected for its artistic significance, historical context, and lasting relevance, with an emphasis on titles that have shaped visual culture and contemporary thought. Drawing from decades of experience in the Japanese art book ecosystem, as well as relationships with collectors, estates, and specialized distributors, we are able to present material that is both culturally important and increasingly scarce in the international market. We maintain rigorous standards for condition assessment and bibliographic accuracy, and every item is securely packaged for international shipment. Our aim is to provide collectors and institutions with thoughtfully chosen works, professional service, and complete transparency.
