Published in Tokyo shortly after the artist’s untimely passing, the book functions both as retrospective and tribute, with images that feel diaristic yet composed, spontaneous yet deeply humane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"586\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003ePrinted in soft monochrome and modest in scale, the photobook opens a private world of gestures and faces — likely friends, lovers, and family — captured with a lightness of touch rarely seen in 20th-century Japanese photography. Where Araki or Moriyama leaned into eros or grit, Ikemoto’s work lingers in moments of joy, trust, and quiet solidarity. There is a softness here, not sentimental, but real — an ethics of presence more than a display of style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eThe slim format and understated design reinforce the book’s personal, almost handmade aura. Distributed by G.I.P. Tokyo and printed in a limited run, it remains largely unknown outside of Japan. A precious document from a life in pictures, and a vital counterpoint to the canonical narratives of Japanese photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1716\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1381\"\u003eTitle: そしてふれあうも (So We May Touch)\u003cbr data-start=\"1414\" data-end=\"1417\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Yoshie Ikemoto\u003cbr data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1451\"\u003eDate: 1993 (photographs 1974–1990)\u003cbr data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1488\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Softcover\u003cbr data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1558\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eDimensions (cm): approx. 21 × 25\u003cbr data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003eLanguage: Japanese\u003cbr data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003ePages: Unnumbered\u003cbr data-start=\"1631\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: G.I.P.
