I met him at a mountain hot spring. His back was big like a mountain. He called himself Torahiko. He was shooting mountains. He used to take fashion photographs in Tokyo, but got fed up. So he came to the mountain. He took me with him to the mountain. It stretched on endlessly, big and tall. I could barely manage to keep up. Trailing behind, on follow him as I looked at his back. At the mountaintop we ate rice balls. They were very tasty. Since then, I haven’t been able to contact him. I heard rumors about him hunting deer in Hokkaido and working in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station after the disaster. Autumn has come. I have been thinking about Torahiko and dreaming of collecting winds and running around in a blue sky. Winter has come. One day, there was a dingy envelope in the mail box with "Torahiko" scribbled in the back. There were 18 rough-grained, small prints inside.

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.
