Some Japanese Flowers (CL54109) Calendar – September 1, 2016

This new book by Getty is a must for those who enjoy Japanese artistic approaches to nature. The photographer--Kazumasa Ogawa--was a remarkable man who, at a young age, discovered photography and pursued it as his passion.Amazingly, after completing his education, he set up a photography shop at age 17, and by age 22, he signed on as a seaman on an American naval warship which brought him to America where he pursued further study in photography.This book shows his art. That was, of course, and era when photography was pictorialist, and clearly, Ogawa considered his final product as a work of art.This book makes for a wonderful gift--to those I love, yes, but also to myself.

I bought this for my Mom as a gift, she is a watercolor painter and I hoped the photographs and life story of the artist would inspire her. It is a little book about Kazumasa Ogawa and the photos are precious. This is a petite book and, in this instance for my Mom, great to reference his beautiful work.

A delightful, simple, hand-strung bound book with lovely paintings of flowers.

Both delicate amazing images and a very well written informative introduction. A real lovely small book. Originally I bought on copy for a gift but loved it so much, I bought another one just for me!

excellent book!

Great idea. Mediocre accomplishment. Printing of the plates is faded, no halftones at all, colors are washed out. Not recommend.

Muy satisfecha con la compra. Edición de bolsillo pero muy cuidada y con contenido de alta calidad.Sería perfecto si tuviera un formato mayor.
