They are the result of an ancient retouching technique known as ‘zokin-gake,’ which was popular among amateur photographers in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s. The result is images that beautifully evoke a faded memory, with the landscapes appearing and disappearing in the image from the photographer’s memory, standing as faint silhouettes against the backdrop of a darkened memory.” Text by Benrido.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie Echo 119","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486414553420,"sku":"","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/7433\/3748\/files\/CHIEKOSHIRAISHI_SHIMAKAGE_BENRIDO.png?v=1703344682"},{"product_id":"chieko-shiraishi-saboten-to-shippo-cactus-and-tail","title":"Chieko Shiraishi - Saboten to Shippo (Cactus and Tail)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChieko Shiraishi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSaboten to Shippo (Cactus and Tail)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published by Tosei-Sha Gallery, 2008\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSize: 26.4 x 20 cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 64 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: Japanese\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eI always found chimneys and cacti, rusty fences, telephone poles and aloes, things that feign ignorance, old buildings quietly catching their breath in a city neighborhood.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eI let myself be guided by these objects, I walked around without any particular destination and I began to relax, refresh my mind and get excited at every street corner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eInsects, weeds, fish and flowers were moving there, things alive and dead, silently or with loud sounds.
