Japanese photographer, Kenshi Hirasashi's photo book “Goat's Lung (Reprint)”. Kenshi Hirashiki, a leading Okinawan photographer who was active in the late 1960s and 2000s. Speaking of the late 1960s, the 'Okinawa struggle' broke out on the island over the joint statement of the Japanese and US governments, the return of Okinawa and the return to the mainland, and many photographers visited the area and announced the actual situation through photographs season. In the midst of such circumstances, he is a photographer who keeps track of the mainstream of the struggle, continues to follow people living on the island, and continues to capture Okinawa with an internal look. Women who supported their households by selling themselves at a restaurant or brothel before returning were regarded as “shame” after being returned and chased by red light districts and islands. . Many of the works that depict the lives of people who lived after the pre-war period are “micrographs” of Okinawa that tells a unique history. The work of Kenshi Hirasashi who continued to “shoot the shadow” by avoiding the front stage is different from Okinawa, which was later transferred by photographers Toshiaki Kanayama and Tomatsu Lighting, etc. There was a figure of Okinawa that I got. The book “Goat's Lung” is the last photo book left by Hirasiki. (The reprinted version is not shown in the illustration, and there is a partial revision afterwards)
