{"title":"Chikashi Kasai","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChikashi Kasai, born in Tokyo in 1970, is a Japanese photographer working across personal, editorial and portrait photography. His first photobook, Tokyo Dance, appeared in 1997, followed by books including Danse Double, Tokyo no Koibito, Tokyo Diary and Stuttgart. His photographs move freely between friends, lovers, family, fashion and everyday encounters. Darwin selects Kasai for an intimate photographic practice where commissioned work and private life remain deliberately inseparable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tokyo-no-koibito-chikashi-kasai-genkosha-2017","title":"東京の恋人 \/ Tokyo no Koibito — Chikashi Kasai — Genkosha — 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eTokyo no Koibito gathers approximately 380 photographs made by Chikashi Kasai between 2011 and 2017. More than sixty women appear across its pages, including friends, acquaintances, models and actresses. Portraits and nudes form a dense sequence of private encounters, where desire is carried by a glance, a pose and the palpable exchange between photographer and subject. Kasai brings the immediacy of the snapshot to images that remain consciously sensual. The book’s substantial scale allows these encounters to accumulate, making intimacy feel varied and specific to each person rather than reducing it to a single image of sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 東京の恋人 \/ Tokyo no Koibito (Tokyo Lovers)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chikashi Kasai (笠井爾示)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genkosha (玄光社)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31 May 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotographs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011–2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 190 × 235 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9784768308554\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genkosha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54948169548114,"sku":"9784768308554","price":111.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_copy_fccc97df-1f6e-46df-b062-243003438b25.jpg?v=1791200528"},{"product_id":"tokyo-diary-chikashi-kasai-genkosha-2019","title":"トーキョーダイアリー \/ Tokyo Diary — Chikashi Kasai — Genkosha — 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Tokyo Diary, Chikashi Kasai follows the changing city through rooms, streets and encounters photographed from 2017 onwards. Continuing the approach of Tokyo no Koibito, the book brings nude portraits into conversation with snapshots of the surrounding urban world. Its approximately 380 photographs unfold with the accumulation of a diary: one encounter gives way to another, and the city becomes inseparable from the people who inhabit it. Desire runs through this sequence, alongside the familiarity of everyday gestures and places. Kasai’s private perspective makes Tokyo feel inhabited at close range, seen through repeated moments of attraction and attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e トーキョーダイアリー \/ Tokyo Diary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chikashi Kasai (笠井爾示)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genkosha (玄光社)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384 (publisher presentation and Moom; bibliographic records also list 348)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotographs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e From 2017 onwards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 236 × 190 × 32 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9784768311882\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genkosha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54948169613650,"sku":"9784768311882","price":136.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_copy_0ff98424-f22d-4ed1-bb83-ff3d74a25d07.jpg?v=1791202272"}],"url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/es\/collections\/chikashi-kasai.oembed","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
