The footprints of seventy years spent watching a changing era and its spaces and imprinting the life that dwells in them. Osamu Murai, who photographed the representative works of Kenzo Tange and Seiichi Shirai and kept revealing his time as an architectural photographer, is also remembered for the series Squares and Sculptures of the World, which shows the deep relationship between space, sculpture and people. The book is the summation of those seventy years and also includes important unpublished work, such as European modernist architecture and poetic buildings in Korea. Murai never stopped turning his eyes to the shepherd's purse growing by the roadside, and the crossing of space and life emerges from the pages.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
