La Préfecture de Shiga, région du photographe Atsushi Fujiwara et sujet principal de cet ouvrage, est aussi le lieu de la fameuse pièce du théâtre N? “Semimaru”.
Les photographies prises “alors que le son du Biwa (luth japonais) de Semimaru hantait mon esprit”, représentent le plus personnel travail de Fujiwara, le monde et la philosophie de la pièce du théâtre N? est toujours présent en fond ; photos en n.b.
“Seeing the original photos of this collection, I was first struck by the sensitivity and sincerity of Fujiwara’s regards toward his subjects, as well as an intense focus and potent restraint that is surely the mark of great discipline. As there were several locations familiar to a resident such as myself, it was also remarkable to equally detect, alongside an emotional treatment of this place he “loves and hates”, Fujiwara’s exceedingly intellectual, almost ethnological stance. These two contrasting positions stem to stand out more distinctly than his previous works, in individual photographs as well as in the editorial style of the volume. This may be why I am drawn to studying these photos again and again.” — extrait de la postface de Naoto Ohsumi.
