Statement
Werner Bischof’s wife Rosellina had spent over three months with the photographer in Japan when she wrote in her diary:
“It is snowing today - Tokyo is enchanted - Werner and I visited
the Meiji shrine in Tokyo. The mood is magical, the snowfall swallows the noise of the city.
Everything appears just in black and white.
Suddenly Werner runs away with his camera.
I stop, terrified. What happened?
He comes back after a little bit.
Still out of breath but overjoyed he admits: I just took THE picture of Japan!”
— Rosellina Bischof
