Henguchi explores what he calls man's foolish will to define himself on a canvas of infinities and nothingness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection is especially designed for book lovers, collectors, and readers who revel in the act of reading. It includes Henguchi's essay-poem \u003ci\u003eNihongo\u003c\/i\u003e in both English and Japanese, more than sixty pages of color photography, and seventy beautifully designed poems. The overall effect of the book is to plunge the reader into an underground subculture somewhere in the backstreets of Osaka. The mundane trappings of life in Japan--TV screens, kitchen cutlery, household tools, plastic umbrellas, women's shoulder pads--are rendered absurd and surreal in both Henguchi's poetry and photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYoshinori Henguchi\u003c\/b\u003e is a photographer, artist, musician, and poet from Osaka, Japan.
