Kurayami

With Kurayami (“darkness”), photographer Masao Yamamoto and musician Akira Uchida continue the artistic dialogue they began in 2020 with Sasanami. Divided into two chapters (“Side A” and “Side B”), Yamamoto’s images explore light and darkness as both subject and atmosphere—quietly navigating themes of transience, nature, intimacy, and presence.

His prints, often hand-altered and delicate, evoke a timeless, contemplative mood. Uchida’s music is meant to be experienced in tandem, not as background but as a coequal voice—shaping and being shaped by the images.

Each copy includes a download code for the music by Akira Uchida.

We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.

Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
