Description
September Story I, edition 75 of 200 from 2008, frames its subject in seasonal and narrative terms — September, with its transitional quality between summer's heat and autumn's arrival, becomes the setting for a "story" that Kaneko leaves visual rather than verbal. Japanese September carries specific associations: the first autumn moon, early chrysanthemums, the lingering warmth of afternoons that turn suddenly cold at dusk. Kaneko translates these seasonal feelings into graphic form without illustrating them literally.
