Japanese female photographer Yoshino Oishi's photo book ``Silent Flowers (Acceptable)''. Yoshino Oishi studied photography at the Department of Photography at Nihon University College of Art, and was deeply impacted by Vietnam during his student days. Upon graduation, he began photographing the world as a freelance documentary photographer. We continue to record the aftermath of people who have experienced extreme situations such as war and civil war. This book, like Oishi's first photo book ``Spring Comes'' (1973), is about ``Japanese women''. It took five years to shoot the four models, but the women, with their faces painted white and their kimonos uncovered to expose their upper bodies, were photographed in fantastical settings such as old folk houses, snowy landscapes, and cherry blossom trees. The scenes are captured with a unique worldview. “I guess it was when I was a teenager that I started thinking naively, ``What does a woman really mean?'' As I picked up a camera and traveled overseas for reporting, I started to think ``women,'' especially ``Japanese women.'' I have been obsessed with the strong desire to somehow visualize the passions of women. (Omitted) ``Hanamokushi'' was born as a result of trial and error.''
