Water Memory Assembly winner of the 170th AkutagawaKazumasa Harada, a photographer who has published works that take an observational view of a variety of subjects such as landscapes, portraits and still life paintings, has compiled this collection by looking back on his photos from the past 12 years. The photographs, which maintain a constant distance and calm gaze towards their subject, are very quiet and pleasant. This is a book that draws you in and relaxes you the longer you look at it.
