A house facing the sea, a garden where flowers sway, a family cherishing its days: a photobook born from the film of Yoshihiko Ueda, who directed, wrote and shot it for the first time on a theme he had long held. Cut from the film and composed with a few words, the pictures float away from the story and hold the rich breathing and time the images weave. The loss and memory each person carries, the gestures of life lived beside the garden, and a quiet yet urgent beauty rising as the seasons turn and time moves towards life and death. Between photography and film, book and cinema, it calls up memories and the present in each reader. Ueda recalls fifteen years passing since the day he began to write a small story about a house, after finding an empty lot where a house and a beloved large tree had stood.
