This landmark publication is the first English-language survey of Ishiuchi Miyako, one of Japan’s most influential contemporary photographers and a Hasselblad Award winner. The book charts her fifty-year career, organized into three thematic sections: “Town,” “Skin & Scars,” and “Things Left Behind.” It features her iconic series like “Yokosuka Story” and “1·9·4·7,” alongside “Frida,” which documents the personal belongings of Frida Kahlo. Ishiuchi’s work is a profound meditation on materiality, the passage of time, and the emotional weight of objects, capturing the “traces” left by history on both people and places.
