A photo collection by Japanese female photographer Megumi Orihara, "Jana - The New York Girl". Born in 1948, she studied literature at university and worked in publishing and magazines after graduation. After that, she started working as a freelance photographer, taking interview photos for magazines. In 1977, she held her first solo exhibition, "Soul South", and traveled to the United States from 1979 to 1981, but after returning to Japan, she is currently active in the United States. This book is a collection of photographs and texts that compile the details of Orihara's friendship with Jana, a woman he met in New York, where he lived during his first visit to the United States. Jana, who is from California and wants to be an actress, gives off a wild and destructive impression in the text, and is somewhat dangerous, but that is why she has an outstanding presence as a subject. Like Yoko, photographed by Nobuyoshi Araki, and Christine, photographed by Seiichi Furuya, Orihara and Jana seem to have a close relationship, and their natural yet photogenic appearance is impressive. Orihara's text is like a personal novel, and the story of the two people emerges very clearly with the photographs.
