A quiet photobook that seeks beauty in the ordinary. Six years before making it, Kyoko Yokouchi moved from central Tokyo to Katsuura, a city in Chiba Prefecture that in ancient times was part of an area called Kazusa, wanting time, space and a natural environment. The blessings of nature there were far beyond her expectations, and with a camera in hand she began to photograph. Although only two hours outside Tokyo, the area seems very different to her; since the scenery may one day become ordinary with the passing of time, she decided to present it in a photobook before that moment came.

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.
