With “The Wind Prays for Sublime Stillness,” Tokyo-based publisher Zen Foto presents the series that earned Toshiya Murakoshi the Kimura Ihei Award in 2023, when he first exhibited this body of work.
Murakoshi, born and raised in Fukushima, has photographed landscapes in and around his home prefecture since the beginning of his career. The works in this book form the fourth part of an ongoing series he has been making in Fukushima since March 2011, shortly after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami devastated the region.
With “The Wind Prays for Sublime Stillness,” Murakoshi sharpens his sensibility once more: the enigmatic allure of his quiet, initially unassuming landscapes feels more pronounced, yet without compromising their sensual depth or textural richness.

Murakoshi is the recipient of the 2011 Photographic Society of Japan Newcomer’s Award and the 2015 Sagamihara Photograph New Face Incentive Award.
