NANGOKUSHO - ode to the southern lands of Japan -
by Atsushi Fujiwara
Publisher: Sokyusha
Atsushi Fujiwara follows the steps of his grandfather through the south of Japan, guided by his book of Tanka poems called Nangokusho.
In “Nangokusho” there’s a lyrical feeling of loneliness, a quest for lost roots, Atsushi’s eye translates poetic verses in visual imagery, he hunts the invisible, the long gone.
A slow wandering through empty streets, railways and backyards, Nangokusho is a silent ode to the Southern lands of Japan.
