About the Item
Photo-eye editions is pleased to announce our second publication, suo sarumawashi by hiroshi watanabe. Sarumawashi, "monkey dancing," has been in existence for over a thousand years in japan. Initially it evolved as a form of religious ritual designed to protect the horses of warriors. Later, it developed into a popular festival entertainment, with monkeys performing throughout the countryside of japan. Sarumawashi ranks alongside noh and kabuki as one of the oldest and most traditional of japan's performing arts. The highly trained monkeys perform acrobatic stunts and comedic skits and are beloved by those who witness them. Hiroshi watanabe remembered these performing monkeys from his childhood and traveled to japan to rediscover them. Rather than making pictures of the performances, watanabe instead chose to produce this series of formal portraits made in a make-shift studio on location in japan. These pictures not only portray the monkeys with great dignity and respect, but are also a beautiful, quiet reflection of watanabe's sensitivities and artistic soul.
This stunning limited edition portfolio is comprised of twelve pigment ink prints chosen from watanabe's series of macaque monkey portraits made in 2008 and includes text by watanabe and an official introduction from the suo sarumawashi association. Limited to fifty copies along with three artist proofs, each is contained in an elegant anodized aluminum box. The pigment ink prints are made on 11x14 inch hahnemühle photo rag baryta.

Hiroshi Watanabe
" I go to places that captivate and intrigue me. I am interested in what humans do. I seek to capture people, traditions, and locales that first and foremost are of personal interest. I immerse myself with information on the places prior to leaving, but I try to avoid firm, preconceived ideas. I strive for both calculation and discovery in my work, keeping my mind open for surprises. At times, I envision images I’d like to capture, but when I actually look through the viewfinder, my mind goes blank and I photograph whatever catches my eye. Photographs I return with are usually different from my original concepts. My photographs reflect both genuine interest in my subject as well as a respect for the element of serendipity, while other times I seek pure beauty. The pure enjoyment of this process drives and inspires me. I believe there’s a thread that connects all of my work -- my personal vision of the world as a whole. I make every effort to be a faithful visual recorder of the world around me, a world in flux that, at very least in my mind, deserves preservation." – Hiroshi Watanabe
