The first photobook by Yosuke Morimoto, photographs made between 2006 and 2023 and laid out like the frames of a film. It began when he approached a woman standing alone in Yoyogi Park and asked whether he could take her portrait. He then left the park and met, one by one, the people hidden in the forest of the city, photographing each portrait and the place around it. Arranged chronologically, the pictures extend like a path walked, linking one-off faces and scenes into the present. These women and their surroundings, familiar yet easily overlooked, look back at the photographer and at us with a sense of the fleeting yet resilient: a book etched with the presence of individuals that is hard to perceive today.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
