Japanese photographer Kusukazu Uraguchi's photo collection, "Shima No Ama (English Edition)" ("Women of Shima"). Born and raised in Shima County, Mie Prefecture, he produced and sold pearl jewelry while continuing to photograph the Shima region, particularly the "women" divers, as an amateur photographer. Famous examples of "women" photography include the work of Italian anthropologist and photographer Fosco Maraini and Yoshinobu Nakamura, as well as Yoshiyuki Iwase, who also worked in business while continuing to photograph his hometown of Onjuku, Chiba Prefecture, for many years. This book, published by a French publisher, is a new edition of Uraguchi's "Shima" works, newly compiled from nearly 40,000 negatives and featuring many previously unpublished images. This beautiful book depicts Japan's lesser-known "culture" (heritage) from a foreigner's perspective, and the remarkable sensitivity and skill of the Japanese photographer who meticulously captured it. English Edition.
