The Journey to Osorezan — Issei Suda — Zen Foto Gallery — 2013

A compact sequence of 65 photographs built around Suda’s journey to Osorezan, the volcanic pilgrimage site in northern Japan associated with the boundary between the living and the dead. The work is characteristically precise yet unsettled: people, landscape and ritual are held in a dense range of black, white and grey rather than turned into spectacle. Published with Suda’s own essay in Japanese and English, the book gives the series a quiet, self-contained form.
