"Modoru Okinawa" is a photo collection by Keizo Kitajima, one of Japan's leading contemporary photographers. After studying at Daido Moriyama's workshop photography school, Kitajima Keizo has continued to work at the forefront of the industry, changing his style from the strong impact snapshots he took in Shinjuku and New York in the late 1970s and 1980s to tranquil portraits and solid landscapes taken with dignity and respect for human beings from the mid-1980s to the 1990s, while continuing to work at the forefront of the industry. This book is composed of illustrations taken in Okinawa in the mid-1970s, before the founding of CAMP, when he visited the area with his comrades. After the Vietnam War, the work was set in the entertainment district "Koza," filled with a strange atmosphere where locals and Americans coexisted, and mercilessly captured the entanglement of American soldiers, prostitutes, drunks, young people, and others. The photographer, who could not find the necessity to publish the photographs as a photobook at the time due to the reality being so vivid, has finally published the unforgettable and unforgettable truth of Okinawa in an attempt to find meaning in his new work. Limited to 1000 copies. Includes edition number.
