Photobook: Koji Onaka | Distance

HK$320.00

Published by Kaido Books, Japan 2025

145 × 210 mm, 122 pages, hardcover

English, Japanese

Limited Edition

This new edition of “Distance” by Koji Onaka brings back a series from the very beginning of the Japanese photographer’s career and includes previously unpublished shots.

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.
