Solitude of Ravens Fiction Purchased from the photography archivesSolitude of Ravens by Masahisa Fukase. First impression of this 2017 edition in new condition. About This book was made between 1975 and 1982 in the wake of his wife Yko Wanibe divorcing him. The visual narrative of the series revolves around the anthropomorphic form of the raven. Dead and alive the birds punctuate the work; lone birds reduced to shadow puppetry against the snow or dislocated flocks that mimic the grain of the photographs themselves.
