TIBET is the expanded new edition of Shinya Arimoto’s long out-of-print debut photobook Portrait of Tibet (1999), now including previously unpublished images. During several trips in his twenties, Arimoto travelled through the wider Tibetan cultural region – across parts of China, India and Nepal – living, eating and sleeping alongside nomads, pilgrims and urban residents whose portraits fill this book.
Shot entirely in monochrome, the 118 photographs capture a Tibet on the verge of rapid social and economic change, balancing intimate close-ups with wide landscapes and village scenes. Published by Zen Foto Gallery as a high-quality hardcover, TIBET spans 176 pages, is bilingual (English/Japanese) and limited to just 1,000 copies – an essential title for collectors of Japanese photography, documentary and portrait work focusing on Tibet and the Himalayas.
