Umimachi (Second Edition, Signed) is a collection of works by Koji Onaka, one of Japan's leading photographers. In the late 1980s, before turning 30, Koji Onaka established his own gallery, Kaido, with photographer Susumu Fujita in a corner of Ome Kaido in Nishi-Shinjuku. Unsure of his destination, he continued to exhibit landscape works in black and white that captured the original scenery of Japan, including his hometown of Kyushu, at the gallery. His first book was a compilation of these works, his representative work, Tall Awadachi Grass (1991). After that, he serialized them in Asahi Camera, and compiled them into a photo book in 1996, his second work, Distance. Since then, Onaka has created many masterpieces, such as Slow Boat (2003), but this book is composed of images taken during a trip to the Sanriku region in the early 1990s. Many of the landscapes included here were lost in the Great East Japan Earthquake, but Onaka published this book in the same year as the disaster, in order to preserve the original landscape and its beauty for future generations and to dedicate it to this town and its people. Second edition. Signed by the photographer .
