Offering the third edition of this beautiful, highly acclaimed book, complete with a newly designed, embossed linen hard cover and tipped in image.

Capturing the work and sensibility of Yamamoto on an unprecedented scale. Yamamoto brings Japanese traditions into modern pictures with poetic, lyrical images that transport and inspire.

Small Things in Silence offers a perspective on twenty years in the career of one of Japan’s most famous photographers. In the words of Yamamoto himself: “I try to capture moments that no one sees and make a photo from them. When I seen them in print, a new story begins.”

Born in 1957 in Gamagori, in the Japanese prefecture of Aichi, photographer Masao Yamamoto began his art studies as an oil painter. Masao subsequently discovered that photography was the ideal medium for the theme that most interested him: images with the ability to evoke memories.

Small Things in Silence includes images from each one of Yamamoto’s major projects—Box of Ku, Nakazora, Kawa, and Shizuka—as well as images from some of his original photographic installations. Masao Yamamoto (1957, Japan) is known for his small photographs, which seek to individualize the photographic prints as objects.
