Katsumi Omori, Cherry Blossoms
This one was bought at Donlon in London too, I paid £40. It was published by Little More in 2007.
I’ve first seen this book thanks to the Photobookswap, but I have nothing to swap… so when I saw a my copy waiting for me on Donlon shelves, I couldn’t resist.
This book is so poetic, and magical.
Japanese books are often amazing.

It’s a beautiful one, I love the paper, and the binding
