Camellia Garden | Yoshihiko Ueda

A house overlooking the sea. A garden where flowers sway. A gem of a photography book in which the memories and lives of a family cherishing each day resonate with one another.
The photography book Camellia Garden was born from "a film by Yoshihiko Ueda." Yoshihiko Ueda, who has followed an important path as a photographer, made his debut as director, screenwriter and cinematographer with this film, based on a theme he had long held. Cut from that film and composed with a few words, this photography book, floating gently away from the story, is filled with the rich breath and time woven by its images.
The losses and memories each person carries. The gestures of a life lived beside the garden, holding that wavering within. As time moves towards life, and towards death, in resonance with the turning of the seasons, a beauty both serene and urgent rises up.
Standing between photography and film, between book and cinema, this book will meet each person who picks it up and awaken a variety of memories and the present.
