A Long Interview with Kozo Miyoshi

Kozo Miyoshi

Children ask adults questions. And sometimes adults ask children questions.

Japanese photographer Kozo Miyoshi continues his journey to this day, carrying a 16x20-inch super-large format camera.

Ever since childhood, his sight has been filled with curiosity, and through his unwavering eye, we might see the world as a place of discovery, as a desk, and sometimes as a cradle that heals heartache. His photographs possess small touches of humour, consciously drawn from the equal relationship between photographer and subject, through which drifts the ephemeral, momentary joys of life. This humour — like the honest expression of a child, unclouded by complicated explanation — resonates throughout the book.

A Long Interview with Kozo Miyoshi shares the consistent thread of pure curiosity throughout Miyoshi's 60-year-plus career — this is his long journey, his long interview.

First edition of 500 copies.

子供が大人に問いかける、時には、大人も子供に問いかける。

三好耕三(1947年千葉県生まれ)は、16x20インチの超大判カメラを担ぎ今日も旅を続けている。

幼き頃からの好奇心に満ちたまなざしは、世界は発見の場所であり、学びの机であり、時には心の傷を癒す揺籠であることを示唆するようだ。 そして、被写体との対等な関係の中で意識的に取り込まれる小さなユーモアは、生きるものの儚い瞬間の喜びを漂わせ、飄々とした子供たちのまなざしのように複雑な説明に曇らされていないまま、軽やかに本作に響いている。

A Long Interview with Kozo Miyoshi は、三好耕三の60年以上に及ぶキャリアを通じて一貫して見られる無垢な問いかけが織り成す、長い旅路 (ロングインタビュー) である。
