He Photographed His Wife Leaving Every Day
This guy photographed his wife every morning right before she left him and asked for a divorce. In 1974, Japanese photographer Masahisa Fukasi started a famous series called From Window. Every single morning, Fugas would photograph his wife Yoko Wanibbe from the fourth floor window of their Tokyo apartment as she left for work. Same framing every day, but sometimes she’s excited, sometimes annoyed, sometimes happy, and sometimes distant. Fugasi was known for turning his camera inward on his own life, his own obsessions, and Yoko was his muse for a very long time. She was posing and performing for his camera. But this intense daily scrutiny, this act of him always watching her leave, it definitely played a part in their marriage eventually ending in 1976. She even said that Fukas seemed to see her only through the lens of his

idk if this is true but I read somewhere that she left because he kept trying to take pictures of her as she was grieving after a miscarriage instead of comforting her
Most women : My husband never clicks my photo.
This woman : My husband sees me only through the lens of his camera.
Fact : Whatever you do women can never be happy.
Very pretty
You’re suggesting the divorce was bc of this? Is your head up your ass?
Women 😂.. old people were right
Losing an Asian baddie like that. I would have ended it then and there.
She was some fine shyt 😊
How is taking a picture everyday a marriage ender?
you think someone is so special that you take pictures of them every day and they are annoyed by it and leave you for it.
That bih got big feet anyways
'If a man writes you a few sonnets, he loves you. If he writes you many sonnets, he loves sonnets'
but did he take any nudes of her? lets see those.
i choose the TIGER 💙
Of course she left him. Dude was siting home doing f all.
Sorry for my earlier comment, this was meant for the next short but the comment box didn't scroll!
He killed himself i think i remember
Proof women will always find a way to be unhappy.
Can't u feel it ,what a obsession ! see through just lens.❤ 😅
If this life has taught me anything, it's that you shouldn't marry someone named Yoko
What?
You will never see a women sacrifice anything for a Man, they'l always complain even if there's nafting to complain about
The priviledge of being priviledged, nowadays is no judgements also, so.. it's even more boring
She's was pretty.
This is what happens when you put a woman on a pedestal.
“He turned his camera inward” but not his gaze.
She some fine shii though
Girls will always come up with all the most random excuses to ruin a good marriage.
As long as she's not asking for a divorce every morning
she sound ungrateful
lie, why would that play a part at all
I can 100 percent assure you that those are African names
This just proof 😂 how men and women views the world in a different way.
The first photo looks like she’s about to pee
Holy shit, this proves women just complain and want drama.
Ah yes yes, its all his fault, she was perfect and caused zero of the issues in the relationship, blah blah blah, same old song.
Wait! You are saying there are TWO Yokos?
that's one take.
They were both cheating on eachother heavily so… yeah🤷🏻♂️ (also before ppl say it, yes, though cheating is more normalized in Japan, especially in the 70s, I can imagine it does take its toll)
2 years 😮!
Psychopaths
It's troubling that you didn't bother talk about him, his perspective, nor the impact that the divorce had on him at all. You've given an incomplete narrative that most people won't even bother to follow up on.
Yah no one talking about reason of divorce world is fukd they are looking her fasion but not the pathetic logic
I am the only who thinks she looks like Carly from icarly🎉😂😂😂
100% guarantee you she left him for someone else and for no other reason
I wonder how he got her to look up every time, even when she clearly wasn’t in the mood.
If he writes her 1 sonnet, he loves her. If he writes her 100 sonnets, he loves sonnets.
