Rinko Kawauchi

Rinko Kawauchi Hon FRPS (川内 倫子, Kawauchi Rinko, born 1972) is a Japanese photographer.[1][2][3] Her work is characterized by a serene, poetic style, depicting the ordinary moments in life.[4][5]

Life and work

Kawauchi became interested in photography while studying at Seian College of Art and Design where she graduated in 1993. She first worked in advertising for several years before embarking on a career as a fine art photographer.

In 2001 three of her photo books were published: Hanako (a Japanese girl's name), Utatane ("catnap"), and Hanabi ("fireworks"). In the following years she won prizes for two of the books in Japan.[6] Kawauchi's art is rooted in Shinto, the ethnic religion of the people of Japan.[7] According to Shinto, all things on earth have a spirit, hence no subject is too small or mundane for Kawauchi's work. Her photographs are mostly in 6×6 format.[8] Kawauchi also composes Haiku poems.

She was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2012.[9]
