Osamu Yokonami
Kumo

Book

Editor, designer and publisher of Japanese artist and photographer Osamu Yokonami’s limited edition photo-book Kumo.

The clouds serve as a common denominator in Osamu Yokonami’s continued exploration of youth, collectivity and anonymity. The utopian settings in Kumo depict an analogy of the cultural homogenization of society’s interconnecting networks; the social system—as a visual metaphor, the strength of a group can overcome individual actions.

Shooting locations include Tateyama, Mount Fuji, Miura, Numazu—all in Japan.
