Summary of Project:
The second collection in Kawauchi’s trilogy of photo books depicts the photographer’s vision of a fireworks (hanabi) show. The breezes of summer nights, the footsteps of children running alongside a riverbank, clouds portending warm showers and the sweet smell of apple candy are at powerfully nostalgic, at once both beautiful and melancholy.
