Toshiya Murakoshi's second photobook, photographing Sukagawa in Fukushima Prefecture, where the photographer was born and raised. The panoramic-format monochrome images suit the open landscapes and carry a distinctive feeling. Such elusive, empty landscapes are difficult to put on film, but Murakoshi delicately fixes light and the sense of air, and expresses the lyricism of the Japanese landscape, writes Osamu Ueno. The Japanese title, Kusa o fumu oto, means the sound of stepping on grass. A limited edition with one gelatin silver print (8 x 10 inches) in a sleeve case, in 33 numbered sets, was also issued.

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.
