YUGEN

Yugen is a 44 page hardback that examines a key concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Yugen (n) - Meaning ‘dim, deep or mysterious’, used to describe the subtle profundity of things that are only vaguely suggested. Hinting at something that is beyond ‘what can be said’, but is not an allusion to another world. It is about this world, this experience.

A compound word, each part yu and gen, meaning ‘cloudy impenetrability’, and the combination meaning ‘obscurity, unknowability, mystery, beyond intellectual calculability’ but not ‘utter darkness’.

The Kafalas, A Decade In Tripolitania is a 140 page hardback featuring images selected from a 50 year old archive of Kodachrome slides of the Kafala family.

Grantham, my British Grandfather the book tells the story of a family of mixed heritage, (British/Arabic) living in Libya between 1966-1976 and offers a highly personal look at this ancient cosmopolitan region before the impact of revolution changed the country and the family's life forever.
