Bamboo sprout (No. 1) 筍 其一

SHIMAMURA Hoko 島村 逢紅

The almost brazen sense of presence of the bamboo sprout is overwhelming, while the space that the mingling of light and shadow creates communicates this photographer’s sympathy with the concept of “light with its harmony.” This work is a classic example of Japanese Pictorialism in the 1930s, the distinctive nature of which was a combination of the immediacy of the Modernist gaze with the Pictorialist aesthetic.
