Japanese photographer Shomei Tomatsu's photo book ``The Pencil of the Sun, Okinawa & SEAsia'' (Signed). He has released many masterpieces such as "＜11:02＞NAGASAKI," "Oh! Shinjuku," "Japan," "I am a king," and even a photo book on Okinawa, and has held numerous exhibitions in the United States and Europe. , Shomei Tomatsu is one of Japan's leading photographers and is highly acclaimed around the world. This book was released as a separate issue of Camera Mainichi in 1975, and was awarded the Japan Photographers Association Annual Award for its documentary photographs that captured Okinawa's appearance (sea, sky, islands, and people) from its occupation by the United States to its return to the mainland in 1969. This book is considered a masterpiece by Shomei Tomatsu, who won the Minister of Education's Art Encouragement Award. The first half consists of black-and-white photographs of the islands of Okinawa, and the second half consists of color photographs of Southeast Asian countries, embodying the transition from black-and-white to color photography in the 1970s. Tomatsu thought that "America" was hidden in the black and white photographs he had taken, and after the pencil of the sun, he transitioned to color photography. Although a new revised edition was published in 2015, this is the first edition. Signed by the photographer .
