Saru
Yamamoto Masao
Published by Textuel
Delicate “photographic haikus,” an ode to the mischievous saru (the Japanese word for monkey).
For several decades, Yamamoto Masao has developed a body of work of remarkable delicacy, imbued with infinite grace and poetry. With Saru, a series he has been pursuing for more than twenty years, Yamamoto explores his fascination with nature and our relationship with the living world. In Jigokudani Park, he observes animals at play, showing affection toward one another, or seeking refuge in hot springs, creating scenes of striking humanity.
