A collection of works by Takuma Nakahira, one of the leading photographers of the 20th century, "Okinawa Amami Spitting 1974 --1978". This book is the 8th volume of "Okinawa Photographer Series Ryukyu Column Image" published by Miraisha. Although it is incomparable to Shomei Tomatsu, who led Nakahira to photography, introduced Daido Moriyama, and made contact with Yutaka Takanashi, Nakahira has also visited Okinawa since the 1970s. The trigger was the death of a police officer in the "Okinawa Reversion Agreement Prevention All-Island General Strike" held in November 1971, and two young men who were present at the scene from Saitama at that time were published in newspapers. It was to listen to the trial of the arrested case, using the picture of The fragments and captions of these two photographs caused various misunderstandings in the world, and the young man was mistaken for a murderer when he was there to help a police officer. Nakahira also participated in this youth support movement (results were confirmed not guilty in the second instance), and since then he has been visiting Okinawa repeatedly, and at one point he also serialized it in the Asahi Journal. This book contains monochrome and color images of Okinawa taken in the 1970s, as well as copies published in the Asahi Journal and Amami's works published by Asahi Camera. Commentary by Satoshi Hachikaku, Ben Takara, and Shino Kuraishi.
