Ken Domon Photo Collection: Women of Koyasan and Muro-ji

A photobook, Onna Koya Muro-ji, by photography legend Ken Domon.

Muro-ji Temple in Nara is a temple that Ken Domon was captivated by its beauty and continued to photograph throughout his life. It is said that he carried his equipment and faced the challenges of shooting, especially from before the war to immediately after the war, even when supplies were scarce.

My father, who loved photography, purchased this book and it has been stored on his bookshelf for a long time.
It is a colossal and elaborately bound, powerful volume.
I believe it would be a valuable reference not only for those in the photography industry but also for those in the design field.
