In the middle of a seemingly empty field, the artist installed a slender wooden post—just six centimetres wide and one and a half metres tall—and mounted a motion-sensor camera to face it.

Its subject, insofar as it can be named, is the negotiation between contact and distance — the photographer's presence registered in the animals' indifference or awareness, the viewer's relationship to that threshold.

The book presents 31 colour plates produced through a method that combines deliberate arrangement with documentary chance: food remnants are placed in a garden, a motion-triggered camera is left to record whatever arrives, and the resulting images are shaped as much by the subjects' behaviour as by the photographer's initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe protagonists are small animals — squirrels, sparrows, field mice, slugs, ants — that move through a scene constructed for them without their knowledge. The tension between the controlled still life arrangement and the unpredictable presence of these garden visitors gives the work its particular character.

Across 176 pages and 172 images, it moves between Kyoto and Enoshima — two locations that share little in atmosphere but are held together by the consistency of the photographer's attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book's first section places Kyoto at its center: women and passersby absorbed into the city's particular stillness, its weight of accumulated history pressing against the ordinariness of daily movement. Mizoguchi does not aestheticize the setting. The photographs remain grounded in observation — a face caught mid-turn, cloth against skin, the quality of light in a narrow street. The second section opens outward. Enoshima arrives with heat, sand, exposed bodies, and the looser temporality of a coastal summer. The shift is structural and atmospheric at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat holds the two halves together is not a thesis but a method. Mizoguchi photographs with a gaze that is simultaneously documentary and intimate — close enough to register physical detail, detached enough to avoid sentimentality. The erotic charge in these images is real but never theatrical; it emerges from proximity and timing rather than staging. Faces, gestures, bathing suits, black sand, and summer fatigue are all treated with equal attentiveness. The result is a book in which contrast — city and shoreline, history and seasonality, cloth and skin — does the interpretive work without forcing resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotographed across the 1990s and 2000s, the work carries a quality of suspended memory. Moments feel both immediate and already receding. The emotional register is one of heat, drift, and a slightly unstable atmospheric tension — qualities that persist across both locations and give the book its coherence.

Ishikawa's first visit was in 1980, and he returned almost every year for roughly four decades.
