This is a special issue of the camera magazine "Asahi Camera" in December 1980, featuring "Bride's America", in which photographer Tsuneo Enari won the 6th Kimura Ihei Award for Photography. Tsuneo Enari was born in 1936, worked in the photography department of the Mainichi Shimbun, and became a freelancer after 1974. In the latter half of the 70's, he covered "war brides" who lived in the United States, and in the 1980s, he went to China and won the Domon Ken Award for "Manchuria in Xiaohai", which covered Japanese orphans remaining in China in the former Manchuria. He is a photographer who has a reputation for documentary works, which he has been interviewing for a long time on the theme of scars and negative heritage left by the war, and interweaves photographic plates and his own writing. A woman's older sister, whose wife's younger brother is planning to marry, was a war bride and was staying in the United States at that time, so she started interviewing them in the mid-1970s when she visited her. A masterpiece that approaches the reality of women who think of Japan, kill their feelings about their families in their homeland, travel to the United States for their husbands, and live desperately while having various thoughts. In the words of Taeko Tomioka, "to bring out the" narrative "of people who have no way of raising their voices."
