About the Item

Mother and Child Gelatin Silver Print Image: 15.4×22.8 cm Sheet: 20.2×25.2 cm Unspecified standalone photograph used in the manuscript for Mashima Publishing's "The Book of Rural Living" Photographed and printed in 1988 This black-and-white photograph by Kazuo Kitai captures a quiet and intimate moment between a mother and her child in a traditional Japanese home. The mother, dressed in a patterned garment, sits on the floor with her legs stretched out, while the child, nestled against her back, gazes curiously towards the camera. The soft lighting filtering through the windows creates a serene atmosphere, highlighting the warmth and tenderness of their bond. The setting, with its tatami mats and neatly arranged household items, evokes a sense of nostalgia, reflecting Kitai’s deep sensitivity to everyday life and familial relationships. This image, much like his other works, carries a documentary essence, preserving a fleeting moment of love and simplicity.
