A Box of Ku

by Masao Yamamoto

From the "The photographs of Japanese artist Masao Yamamoto remind one of postcards or snapshots, records of intimate moments that are at once fleeting and eternal, private and universal. Bent, frayed and stained, the jewel-like prints -- most of which are small enough to fit into the palm of a hand -- transcend their medium and become more than their subject."

This has always been my favorite book by Yamamoto, ground-breaking really, and yet so delicate and subtle.
