Japanese female photographer Kyoko Ureshino's photo book "Okinawa 1 Million Cry". Kyoko Ureshino, a news photographer who has been active as a freelance photographer since the 1960s and is one of the founding members of the Japan Realism Photography Group. During the security struggle in the 1960s, the words of local workers who came to appeal to the mainland about the actual situation of Okinawa did not leave their minds, and they visited Okinawa twice in 1965 and 1987 for coverage. At that time, the title of "photographer" did not give permission to travel to Okinawa, and although it was said that "there is no guarantee of life if you bring a camera", I was prepared to take a picture and was in front of the march to return to my homeland. A girl was killed by a US soldier who saw her in Okinawa. A US soldier who just stands in front of his body. A local police officer who can do nothing. I couldn't stand it unreasonably, and I shook off the restraints around me and took a picture with big tears in my eyes. It was announced through the hands of a photographer who secretly returned to the mainland, and triggered the people of the mainland to seriously consider returning to Okinawa. This is a valuable collection of Okinawan records before the return to the mainland, which was recorded by a female news photographer at the risk of her life. (Recorded in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
