Earth Water Fire Wind Emptiness

Earth Water Fire Wind Emptiness is a homage to a city William Ash called home for ten years. Returning to Tokyo in 2014 Ash captured an intimate portrait of this complex metropolis. Starting from the simple question of what is the natural landscape of Tokyo Earth Water Fire Wind Emptiness reveals the layers in both space and time that make up one of the most artificial topographies in the world. The images weave a beautiful and quiet narrative of this remarkable city. 80 photographs 1 illustration text in English and Japanese 96 pages 8.5x11.
