“1974 was the first year I went to Okinawa and it was exactly a one-week stay. Most of the photos in this book are those I took during that trip. However, the purpose of the trip to Okinawa was not to take photos, but for Shomei Tomatsu, Eikou Hosoe, Masahisa Fukase, Nobuyoshi Araki, and myself who were all living in Tokyo and then to conduct a photo workshop with “Taking Photos” as the main theme for more than 10 photographers and photo enthusiasts living in Okinawa. Whenever I found time between the 5 days of the Okinawa workshop, I would take the only camera, a half-size, that I brought with me and photograph about 2000 sections. I didn't set any themes to work with, but jumped from place to place like a pecking bird, allowing the cities I encountered for the first time to guide me." artist's text.
