"Hana Otome" is a photo collection by Japanese writer and photographer Shinya Fujiwara. He is a unique artist who has been publishing works that combine essays and photographs since the 1970s. His photo essays, such as "Indian Wanderings," a young man's journey through India, and "All Oriental Roads," which won the 23rd Mainichi Art Award, are set mainly in Asia, and they question the climate, culture, lifestyle, and even the meaning of life that he felt through his long-term travels. They are highly popular among people of all ages and genders. In the 1980s, he was mainly active as a writer, but in 1990, he picked up a camera for the first time in about 10 years and released the documentary "American Roulette," which he shot across the American continent over the course of seven months. It was also selected by Martin Parr and others in "The Photobook: A History." This book is a collection of works published in the early 2000s, consisting of women and landscapes photographed in his hometown of Fukuoka. "This is a collection of photographs that capture the moments when the true feelings of women who are directly exposed in the rough seas of society and doing their best to survive emerge. This is a photo collection themed on women in my hometown of Fukuoka, following "Millennium Girl" published in 1999" (from the publisher's introduction). Comes with a dust jacket.
