Both were born in England, studied near Oxford in the 1970s, moved to the U.S. West Coast, and fell in love with Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book brings their work together in a profoundly personal collaboration: more than sixty of Kenna’s prints, each accompanied by an essay both from Iyer and Kenna himself. Kenna’s work—minimalist, often made in long exposure—captures fleeting moments of calm and clarity: a fog-bound canal in Venice, a deserted jetty in Mallorca, a line of trees dissolving into snow in Hokkaido. Spanning fifty years and five continents, these photographs offer meditations shaped by light, shadow, and quiet transformation. In prose that mirrors the restraint and depth of the images, Iyer writes about travel, childhood, coincidence, and the invisible threads that connect us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautifully printed and designed for slow reading and close looking, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eSame Sun Same Moon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a book for art lovers, writers, travelers, and anyone drawn to the subtle interplay of image and word, solitude and connection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Same Sun Same Moon\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrestel Publishing, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhotography: \u003c\/b\u003eMichael Kenna                                                                                      \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWriter: \u003c\/strong\u003eMichael Kenna \u0026amp; Pico Iyer                                                              \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e26.67x21.59 cm, 160 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e9783791394053\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"* New or Sealed *","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56705307410812,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/5351\/files\/SameSunSameMooncover_ebacf4be-a20b-4c38-a35d-9918b1fcfcd0.jpg?v=1777654451","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.thephotographersgallery.org.uk\/products\/michael-kenna-same-sun-same-moon-signed","provider":"TPG Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
