The fourth solo collection by Seiji Kumagai, after Bible KUMAGAI Seiji, Seiji (2001) and Towards more shined places (2008). It holds 50 colour snapshots, each given a caption of its own by the photographer. Every scene, beautifully and quietly shaped in tender natural light, seems to tell its own story as the leaves are turned. Kumagai hopes the captions will act as headings for fifty different stories, each turning inwards to the reader and to himself and growing into further stories. His gentle, composed outlook was formed by the grandeur of nature in Hokkaido, and he describes himself standing before a door without a knob, knowing it opens onto anywhere at any time.
