A quiet journey through the seaside towns and rural areas of Japan that is remarkable for its unremarkableness. Travelling to and wandering through these towns, Manabu Someya pays attention only to his own sensations and feelings to choose and frame his images, rather than taking a cerebral approach. The series is undramatic, with village corners, street lamps, house facades, streets and shores photographed like character studies of specific places. This unagitatedness shows the maturity of a photographer confident in the essence of photography, and makes it a joy to look at the photographs again and again.

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.
