"Boy Papani (With OBI)" is a photo collection by Yoshino Oishi, one of Japan's leading female photographers. Yoshino Oishi has been active around the world with the theme of "the scars of war and conflict, and the people who live there." Although this book was published in 1983, in 1971, a solo exhibition titled "Papani" was held at Nikon Salon, and it was Oishi's first work as a photographer. This collection of works chronicles the friendship between Yoshino Oishi and Papani, a Ghanaian boy who lived in Japan as a child due to his father working at the embassy. The lonely and somewhat gloomy boy falls in love with Oishi, and Oishi himself becomes fond of the sparkle in his eyes like a lover. In this book, Oishi follows Papani as he moves to different countries when his father is transferred: Shinshu at age 6, Ghana at age 10, and London at age 13. The photo-poetic images are unique in that they give the reader a sense of the boy's perspective as well as the feelings of a woman looking at a man. Comes with a dust jacket.
