The dreamy images, created by being out of focus or underexposed before sunset, seem to revive the viewer's relegated memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masafumi Sanai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57924462117246,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/jibun-jya-nai-hito-cover.heic?v=1787843908"},{"product_id":"wakaranai-i-dont-know","title":"Wakaranai (I don't know)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst edition of Wakaranai (I don't know) by Masafumi Sanai (1998)\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst impression \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge format hardback in near fine condition \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral wear to boards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome foxing to end papers, please note there is also a superficial mark to top of one of the front end papers, please consult pictures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome minor toning to extremities of pages \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBinding firm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText in Japanese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Masafumi Sanai is representative of a youthful generation of Japanese photo-diarists. He is a prolific maker of photobooks, of which this is the first and probably most successful. Whereas his female equivalent is probably Hiromix who shows girls and girl things, Sanai shows boys and boy things, most notably cars. Wakaranai (I Don't Know) could be seen as a loose companion piece to Takashi Homma's Tokyo Suburbia, since it documents the same world of outer-city urban landscapes, portraits of contemporaries, and interiors of vacuous malls and apartments on the fringes of Tokyo, shot in the color snapshot diary-mode made famous by the American, Nan Goldin, who has made an enormous impact on Japanese photography.\" --Parr \u0026amp; Badger, The A History, Vol II.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masafumi Sanai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58123685233022,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/wakaranai-i-dont-know-7727556.jpg?v=1792476394"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/collections\/masafumi-sanai.oembed","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
