Rinko Kawauchi’s book, Ametsuchi, is comprised of two Japanese characters meaning heaven and earth, and is taken from the title of one of the oldest pangrams in Japanese, a chant in which each character of the Japanese syllabary is used. Kawauchi brings together images of distant constellations and tiny figures lost within landscapes, as well as photographs of a traditional style of controlled-burn farming (yakihata) in which the cycles of cultivation and recovery span decades and generations. Punctuating the series are images of Buddhist rituals and other religious ceremonies.
