The ninth issue of the private photo magazine "Photo Shin", which was born in the 1970s in Okinawa, where many famous photographers were born after the war. "Okinawa" is one of the most distinctive colors in Japan, as it has a unique culture that differs from the mainland, unique customs by the islands, and a large US military base. The unforgivable fact is that many photographers from both the local and mainland visited to capture their unique personality, and many valuable photobooks, including Tomatsu Lighting, were born. In Okinawa prefecture, Yasuo Higa and Kochi Hirayochi started as great artists, and Kenshi Hirashiki, Takashi Ishimine, and Toyomitsu Higa and Mao Ishikawa, world-renowned photographers, were born. "Photo Shin" was launched in the latter half of the 1970s by representatives of the area, such as Kazuo Kuniyoshi and Kosuke Higa, in order to record the everyday life, culture, and customs of the mainland. In this book, Higa and Taira, as well as recent works by members Kazuyoshi Kuniyoshi, etc. are also recorded, and the lecture contents by the 2nd Kimura Ihei Award author Taira Taira "Being particular about Okinawa-in my relationship with photography" "-" is also introduced. The story of how he started visiting the islands by staring at his country, away from the struggle and US-related press photographs (⇒to Painukaji), his encounter with Tomatsu Lighting, his respect, and respect for Daido Moriyama.
