Kumonodaira Plateau

“Kumonotaira Plateau” is an art book of poems and photographs born from a stay at “Kumonotaira Plateau” a place at the innermost part of the Northern Alps and also called the “last unexplored region.”

The pages are all composed of bellows, with poems on one side and photographs on the other. You can't watch both at the same time.

The side of the poem can be stretched gently without restrictions on the page, and on the other hand, if you devise a way to open it, the side of the photograph shows a solid appearance as if it were a single stone slab. The cover has been processed so that it fits perfectly when the surface of the photo is opened.

Details can also be found on the special page.

What is Kumonotaira

This lava plateau stretches around 2,600 meters above sea level in the Kurobe headwaters, at the innermost part of the Northern Alps. It was called the “last unexplored region” because no consolidated pioneering process was carried out until the end even in the Northern Alps. Ponds, pine trees, and volcanic rocks scattered all over the prairie weave a unique spatial beauty that should be called a “heavenly garden.”
