Prospects Vol. 3

Kazuyuki KAWAGUCHI

Publisher: photographers’ gallery

Kazuyuki Kawaguchi’s documentation of small towns throughout Japan.

In his "Prospects" series, Kazuyuki Kawaguchi travels through Japan – from Kitakyushu in the South to Aomori in the North – and photographs sceneries in various small cities with remarkable precision. His images contrast the liveliness-less of the declining towns with photographs that burst with presence, that seem to approach and overhwelm the viewer with the details they have to share.
His eyes familiarized with the modern cityscapes of Tokyo, Kawaguchi manages to draw out the peculiarities, the beauty and the decay of towns that once prospered, many years ago, in Japan’s Edo, Meiji, Taisho, Showa or Heisei eras.

"Prospect Vol. 3" was published on occasion of the same-titled exhibition at Photographer’s Gallery in January 2019 and focuses on towns in the prefectures of Aomori, Fukushima, Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Yamanashi, Toyama, Fukui, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Hyogo, Kagawa, Yamaguchi and Fukuoka.
