MISHO Shinto Co., Ltd, 2017 Photographs and text by Emi Anrakuji Editing by Paulo Nozolino Design by ilhas studio Edition of 250 numbered copies, with hanko stamp Offset printring over silkscreen printing w/ photoluminescent ink all copies stitched and assembled by hand Softcover in slipcase with obi 32 pages, 18 b/w illustrations 210 x 300 mm MISHO is Emi Anrakuji's ode to the sense of loss and abandon that permeate our inner journeys through complicated times, and her most honest statement to date after the cerebral illness that compromised her eyesight and confined the artist to a decade of solitude. Edited by photographer Paulo Nozolino, MISHO refuses the grandiose and aims at the pure, the simple, the noble quasi-religious character of Anrakuji's solitary and intuitive practice. Like the Caribou Eskimo who once told European visitors that "privation and suffering alone open the mind to all that is hidden to others", these self-portraits are also an exercise in transformation, an humble bowing to the mysteries of the eternal.
