Ango (Japanese Version)
Signed／Binding：Twist hardcover book binding
The latest entry in a project series by publisher and designer Satoshi Machiguchi in which he lets contemporary Japanese photographers engage with works of Japanese literature in the space of a book. After collaborating with Daido Moriyama for the first three entries in the series, Machiguchi chose Sakiko Nomura for this fourth and latest issue.
Ango Sakaguchi’s short story “The War and a Woman” was released in 1946 heavily censored by the GHQ (the offices of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers during the occupation of Japan). The publication “Sakiko Nomura: Ango” features the uncensored edition of “The War and a Woman”, released in 2000, and new photographs by Sakiko Nomura. “Sakiko Nomura: Ango” was first released in German in June 2017. The English edition will be published in July, followed by the release of the Japanese version on 15 August.
