Yasuhiro Ogawa’s brand new project 'Into the Silence', soon to be released as a Photo-book published by Blue Lotus Editions Hong Kong, captures the rugged yet timeless beauty of Japan’s northern region. Follows the testament of Matsuo Bashō's journey through the northern provinces of Japan in the 17th century, as recounted in his travelogue "The Narrow Road to the Deep North,” ("Oku no Hosomichi”).  Ogawa set out on a journey through the Tōhoku region like Bashō did, with his camera in hand.

Ogawa captures the rugged beauty of the landscape, from snow-covered mountains to misty forests but also includes mondain house formations, deserted roads and glimpses of wild oceans, often shot through foggy windows on a train in motion. Through his lens, Ogawa reveals a world that is both remote and timeless, a world in stillness and motion.
