Yamamoto Masao The Poems of Santoka, limited edition with print

  

It is really not easy to describe this book object. Each single page is made by 5 layers, so that the pictures are mounted inside passepartouts.

You don't fold the pages like a normal book. Some pages can be opened multiple times. Other pages can also be folded up or down. Ultimately, this is a sensual experience and a spiritual journey. A carpet of images and haikus is laid down in front of you.

The book itself is an artwork: it is bound in a special leporello technic with many plates as foldouts in many directions for an complex multidimensional view on the poetry and Masaos photographs. The book is bound in silk and the plates have hinges of linen. Each single page is made from 5 layers. The pigment prints inside the book are printed on baryta paper and they really look fantastic.

The print is like the original, the paper a little bit different, of course. But nobody sees or feels the different, if he do not hold Masaos prints in the hand. And how we can make a adequately original: Masaos prints are unique pieces, we can just try to catch the feeling. We promise you: Masao was VERY, VERY happy. He had no single corrections while checking the proofs. Our printer is Ralf Lenk (Scancolor) in Leipzig, he is one of the master printers in the world. The book contains 33 prints. Though not as well-known in the West as many of the earlier haiku poets, Sant? It was Yamamoto's idea to create a book of his photographs and Sant? And you hold here in your hands the beautiful result, which was admirably aided by Seiko Uyeda's superb translations. In another book about Yamamoto Masao, I reminded readers of a famous Zen story about Kakua, the first Japanese to study Zen in China. Later he moved to a mountain where he meditated constantly. But people would find him and ask him to preach to them. He would say a few words and then move to a more remote part of the mountain.

Kakua stood before them silently, took a flute from his robe, blew a single note, bowed, and left the assembly. The item "Yamamoto Masao The Poems of Santoka, limited edition with print" is in sale since Thursday, August 20, 2020.
