The second print of "Living with theWaters" by Tokio Matsubara

Tokio Matsubara was born in 1940 in Wakaura in Wakayama Prefecture. The place used to be a mecca for waka poetry composed in the Manyoshu, and the town is filled with the lingering aesthetic sense of the ancient people. His photographic works, which resonate with the aesthetic spirit, continue to develop in a variety of ways while expanding his unique artistry. Living with the Waters, the starting point of the photographer Tokio Matsubara's career, is a collection of portraits of people in Wakaura, Tanoura, and Saikazaki during the period 1955-1969.
