Originally serialized for a year in Asahi Camera, “Distance” represents the second coherent body of work by Onaka and, as he writes in his afterword, the first time he earned money with his photography. Shooting with a 35mm lens, Onaka captured marginal places in Japan – the outskirts of towns, old factories, small harbors, fields, and “places that smell of machine oil – landscapes that are in my memory but are fading in reality.” Accordingly, his black-and-white photographs possess a certain sense of nostalgia and perhaps even loss, yet never overly impose Onaka’s emotions onto the photographed scenery.

Softcover with slipcase, 18 x 26 cm. B&W pictures. First edition. Signed and inscribed copy. Insert a letter by photographer. In very good condition other than a small bump on the corner on book and a small scratch on the back of slipcase.
