Behind the clouded glass, everyday things show through: kitchen taps, figurines, flowers, laundry, notices, umbrellas, household shrines, bicycles. Cropped by the window frame, each interior turns into an abstract pattern that also holds shadows and reflections from outside, and makes you imagine whoever lives there. Each window becomes a portrait of someone in Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his previous book, flowers (2021), Okuyama looked out through a window toward one person, his late grandmother. In windows he looks in from outside, toward strangers. It is the second book in a trilogy that portrays people through subjects other than people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e724 photographs selected from about 100,000 frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e752 pages in an ochre cloth binding that recalls the natural materials of a house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollowed by photographs (2026), which completes the trilogy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Yoshiyuki Okuyama\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1991 in Tokyo, Okuyama received an Excellence Award at the 34th Canon New Cosmos of Photography and the 47th Kodansha Publishing Culture Award for photography.
