日の丸を視る目

"Mao Ishikawa's series Here's What the Japanese Flag Means to Me captures an array of subjects, not only from Okinawa but of people who live beyond the island. Photographing individuals from mainland Japan, the indigenous people of Ainu, France, Taiwan, and England, Ishikawa captures each individual in poses which express their feelings toward the Hinomaru (Japanese flag). Confronted with object, each subject in turn confronts their own emotions from the legacy of war, to notions of family, and to ideas of freedom, resulting in a truly unique and intimate selection of photographs which reflect each individuals relationship to the object itself."--Shashasha website: https://www.shashasha.co/en/book/heres-what-the-japanese-flag-means-to-me.
