Limited Edition
Tsugaru - Shimokita by Kazuo Kitai is a photographic series that delves into the landscapes and culture of the Tsugaru and Shimokita regions of northern Japan. With his characteristic documentary approach, Kitai captures the simple life and deep-rooted traditions of these rural areas, often isolated and untouched by modern times. The images, imbued with melancholy and respect, reveal the austere beauty of the landscapes, the faces of the inhabitants, and the authenticity of an ancient Japan in decline. Kitai thus celebrates the memory and cultural richness of these places while bearing witness to the inevitable changes affecting them.
