{"product_id":"ushioda-tokuko-my-husband","title":"Ushioda, Tokuko: My Husband (signed)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe joyful days with her husband, Shinzo Shimao, and daughter, Maho in a one-room unit of a Western-style house and her solitude she faced alone in the quiet night; Dormant for 40 years, the story of these photographs is finally uncovered. A set of two books with Book 1 and Book 2 each showcasing the 6×6 and 35mm photographs respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early 1979, soon after their child Maho was born, the three moved into a historic Western-style house where Yukio Ozaki, known as the “God of constitutional politics”, had relocated his former house. It was one simple box-like room on the second floor with a shared toilet and no bathroom; not even a fridge at first. As soon as she became a newlywed and a mother of a child, Ushioda’s busy yet fulfilling days started. Her husband, Shimao, was quite singular both as an artist and as a family member and had continued photography within the limited living space he shared with Ushioda. Perhaps because it was a record of life with such a partner, she was able to maintain a meticulous balance, neither nostalgic nor cynical, depicting the human drama hidden behind objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book includes the photographs taken within 5 years from 1978, the year Maho was born. Book 1 includes the 6×6 square format, synonymous with Ushioda, and is a set with Book 2 with the 35mm snapshots, establishing a precious photobook that will be remembered as the starting point to her photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: My Husband\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher, Year\u003c\/strong\u003e: torch press, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotographer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tokuko Ushioda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardcover (Book 1) \/ Softcover (Book 2)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24.0 x 19.0 cm, 198 pages (Book 1: 122 pages; Book 2: 76 pages)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: 978-4-907562-35-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TPG Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57049193415036,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/5351\/files\/Ushioda_TokukoMyHusband1.png?v=1782040100","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.thephotographersgallery.org.uk\/products\/ushioda-tokuko-my-husband","provider":"TPG Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
