This book is brand new!
"Sha Shin" is the Japanese contemporary photography magazine launched by Fugensha in January 2022. Each issue is thematic and collects numerous photographs and contributions from photographers active on the contemporary scene, as well as a series of recommendations on photography books with which to enrich your own collection.
In the final part of the magazine there are English translations of some of the published articles including all the statements of the eight featured artists: Kikuji Kawada, Naohiro Utagawa, Yuki Onodera, Yoko Kusano, Seiji Kumagai, Chieko Shiraishi and Gozo Yoshimasu.
In the third issue, whose theme is "Spell", the focus is on the relationship between photography and language.
A magazine aimed primarily at a Japanese-speaking audience but which opens up a glimpse into the very rich contemporary Japanese scene and which cannot be missing from the library of enthusiasts.
