Yamada Isao DVD ☆ Melody of Light
This volume features on the works in which Kudo Mizuho performs.
"The comfort of the fragments of light which your gaze captures in a scene or in a space, followed by the strange discomfort caused by the shadows emerging from their reflections. What will be the next expression of this mysterious melody of light, which only Yamada can engrave in films?"
-Mizuho Kudo
