Yasui san's debut photo book is compact, made with great care and very high quality printing. His work makes dramatic use of saturated blacks from which his subjects leap out at the viewer in vivid clarity and unexpected forms. The subjects are everyday, chance captures, rendered with exquisite care and subtle vitality. The printing of this book captures the unique tonal range of the photographs, and it is a very satisfying object to hold. I recommend it without reservations!
