First edition, first impression, rare in this small quarto, this book features two separate photography series unified by Ikko’s signature haunted aesthetic.The first series Garden of Silence takes place in a Trappist monastery in Tobetsu, Hokkaidō while the second Within The Wall documents a women’s prison in Wakayama. Marking a new era of Japanese postwar photography, Ikko’s refreshing yet poignant style updated the monochrome medium for the contemporary age.
