Sense of Place has been published for the exhibition of Seiichi Motohashi at Izu Photo Museum 2016. A documentary photographer of international recognition, Motohashi has been documenting the diversity of human lives since the 1960s.

This photobook is the first to bring together his photographic career, and includes 5 series the Abattoir, Ueno Station, Chernobyl, the mine and Tsukiji, the fish market.

"Motohashi has spent decades examining the history and whereabouts of people who have been buried and forgotten amid the currents of sweeping social change — postwar economic growth, the energy revolution, the overhaul of transportation networks. What accounts for the appeal of his work? The photographer has engaged in an individual pursuit of a set of values ​​that cannot be measured in terms of material affluence, and all of his work poses a quiet challenge to the modern society we have constructed." — from the afterword, by Noi Sawaragi

Sense of Place was published in Seiichi Motohashi's exhibition at the Izu Photo Museum in 2016. An internationally recognized documentary photographer, Motohashi has been documenting the diversity of human lives since the 1960s.

This photo book is the first to bring together his photographic career, and includes 5 series: The Slaughterhouse, Ueno Station, Chernobyl, the Mine and Tsukiji, the Fish Market.

"Motohashi has spent decades examining the history and whereabouts of people who have been buried and forgotten amidst currents of profound social change—postwar economic growth, the energy revolution, the redesign of transportation networks. What accounts for the appeal of his work? The photographer is engaged in a one-man quest for a set of values ​​that cannot be measured in terms of material wealth, and all of his work poses a quiet challenge to the modern society we have built." - from the afterword, by Noi Sawaragi
