Until their return to Japan in 1972, U.S. soldiers intentionally or accidentally killed, injured, and raped Okinawans but were never brought to justice. They simply returned home with the help of U.S. military forces. As absurd as this may sound, it was taken for granted at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a child, I thought, \"Are Okinawans Japanese? Why is Okinawa treated cruelly like this?\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDuring the 1987 Okinawa Kaihoh National Track and Field Competition, Mr. Shoh-ichi Chibana dragged and burned the rising sun flag flying at the venue; he was arrested for this act. Later, Mr. Chibana showed me a rising sun flag he kept at home. He told me that he would never burn the flag but would keep it because it was a symbol of the reversal movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An idea crossed my mind. \"It might be interesting to let people carry a Rising Sun flag and express their feelings about Japan and the Japanese.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI decided to ask a variety of people to openly share their faces and names, as well as their ideas and expressions, in a dignified manner. This disclosure is an essential element of any photograph. The locations vary from Hokkaido to Okinawa. The ages range from young to old. The professions, ideologies, and beliefs are diverse. Let them show the figures of the Japanese people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Previously, I had photographed Okinawans and people connected to Okinawa. This was the first time I felt inclined to photograph Japanese people. I was very keen to populate the Ainu, people from \"buraku\" (discriminated areas), and Korean residents in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBetween 1993 and 1999, I took about a hundred photographs and featured them in a magazine. In 2007, I decided to develop the project into a photo book and resumed filming activities. Initially, I planned to take photographs exclusively in Japan, but then I had the opportunity to take photographs of Okinawans living in London and Paris as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, I realized, \"I should ask people from Korea, China, and Taiwan—very close to Okinawa and once colonized by Japan—to speak about Japan and Japan.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduced by friends allowed me to take photos in Korean and Taiwan, but not in China. \"Any performance with a Rising Sun flag is almost or absolutely impossible under the current political conditions in China. It's best not to do it because it would create difficulties for them.\" Hearing this kind of advice repeatedly forced me to give up.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBetween 2007 and 2011, I took 84 photographs. Having started this project in 1993, I have now accumulated 184 images. This book contains a total of 100 photographs. Some of the people photographed here died of old age and illness, or committed suicide. Over time, this book came into being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Needless to say, our world is filled with all kinds of people, with different lifestyles and ideas. I am extremely grateful to all the participants in this project for their bold and fearless expression. As the final figure in this cast of human characters, I have included a photo of myself.

I don't believe a photograph because everything in it is a lie. The only thing that I believe is that there exists a certain “truth” between the subject and the photographer (or the person who sets up the camera). Different from the intimacy of the needles and brushes that are close to me, the “truth” is like the force of solitude that pushes two bodies away from each other so they can't become one, no matter how hard they embrace each other. So what exactly is that “truth”? A photographic film is developed, and the picture is printed or stored as digital data. It appears to me that there is a reason for every aspect of the process – the camera, time, processing, and sometimes the necessity to involve other people. The more of these things there are, the stronger the “truth” gets. ”We were certainly there” – this is what I feel, and I think this inspired me to photograph my friends and make them “bystanders” in the form of photographs and other objects in my work. \u003cbr style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: LegacySerifStd, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Times Roman', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L', 'Hiragino Mincho ProN', 'Hiragino Mincho Pro', 'MS PMincho', 'MS Mincho', 'Songti SC', STSong, 'AR PL SungtiL GB', NSimSun, SimSun, TW-Sung, 'WenQuanYi Bitmap Song', 'AR PL UMing CN', 'AR PL UMing HK', 'AR PL UMing TW', 'AR PL UMing TW MBE', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: LegacySerifStd, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Times Roman', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L', 'Hiragino Mincho ProN', 'Hiragino Mincho Pro', 'MS PMincho', 'MS Mincho', 'Songti SC', STSong, 'AR PL SungtiL GB', NSimSun, SimSun, TW-Sung, 'WenQuanYi Bitmap Song', 'AR PL UMing CN', 'AR PL UMing HK', 'AR PL UMing TW', 'AR PL UMing TW MBE', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e– Afterword by Mari Katayama\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: LegacySerifStd, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Times Roman', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L', 'Hiragino Mincho ProN', 'Hiragino Mincho Pro', 'MS PMincho', 'MS Mincho', 'Songti SC', STSong, 'AR PL SungtiL GB', NSimSun, SimSun, TW-Sung, 'WenQuanYi Bitmap Song', 'AR PL UMing CN', 'AR PL UMing HK', 'AR PL UMing TW', 'AR PL UMing TW MBE', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e-----\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: LegacySerifStd, 'Times New Roman', Times, 'Times Roman', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L', 'Hiragino Mincho ProN', 'Hiragino Mincho Pro', 'MS PMincho', 'MS Mincho', 'Songti SC', STSong, 'AR PL SungtiL GB', NSimSun, SimSun, TW-Sung, 'WenQuanYi Bitmap Song', 'AR PL UMing CN', 'AR PL UMing HK', 'AR PL UMing TW', 'AR PL UMing TW MBE', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA photograph is (as if I knew what I was talking about…) something really strange I find. I don’t believe in a photograph because everything in it is a lie. The only thing I believe in is that there is a certain “truth” between the subject and the photographer (or the person who set up the camera). Different from the intimacy of needles and brushes that are close to me, “truth” is like the force of loneliness that pushes two bodies apart so that they cannot become one, no matter how much they embrace. So what exactly is this “truth”? A photographic film is developed and the image is printed or stored as digital data. It seems to me that there is a reason for every aspect of the process – the camera, the time, the processing and sometimes the need to involve other people.
