Photo book "Painukaji" by Okinawan photographer Koichi Taira. Koichi Taira, a journalist who has been involved in conflicts and struggles related to U.S. military base issues since the 1960s as a journalist with the idea of "appealing to the Okinawa problem using a camera as a weapon." However, like Yasuo Higa and others who were also in the same age, after returning to the mainland, they learned "emptiness" in their activities and "tired" in "appealing", gradually their feet left the main island and turned to the islands To go. And just like Higa's commitment to women, festivals, and gods, Taira focuses on the nature, culture, life, and people of the islands. This book is a masterpiece of Taira who was published by self-publishing and won the 2nd Kimura Ihei Award. Taira's eyes and mind capture intense sensitivity to "light" and "shadow" and even "wind". One of the best masterpieces that imprints its name on the history of Japan's photography, which has been “invariant” and “changing” in Okinawa since its return to the mainland.
