Syoin Kajii – NAMI_波

Twenty years after the legendary photo book “NAMI,” a new wave rises. In 2004, “NAMI” won the Grand Prix at the first Foil Awards and captivated audiences with its powerful images of the Sea of Japan as seen from Sado Island. Twenty years later, photographer and monk Kajii continues to confront the ever-changing waves from the northernmost tip of Sado Island.

Waves swell, break, pulse, and fade — never remaining the same. Capturing these fleeting yet eternal expressions of the sea, this new masterpiece photo collection invites readers into a profound visual journey. With every turn of the page, a new surge of emotion emerges.
