in 1974, Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukase initiated a daily photographic ritual, capturing his wife, Yoko Wanibe, from the 4th-floor window of their Tokyo apartment as she left for work every morning. standing high above the street, Fukase snapped photos of Yoko looking back, waving, or walking away, assembling a candid visual chronicle of their complex marriage. despite his obsession with documenting her daily routine, their troubled relationship fractured, leading to their official divorce in 1976. the intimate photo series, titled From Window, captured the growing emotional distance between the couple.
