First volume of the Japanese author published outside his native Japan. Kawauchi's work has often been praised for its expressiveness and delicacy, for its ability to arouse wonder through a careful attention to small gestures and random details of everyday life. In Illuminance, Kawauchi continues his exploration of the "extraordinary in the ordinary", extracting his poetic force from the natural world and making it manifest through "illuminating" compositions.
