Following his 2019 photobook Resident Birds, Shoichi Ito explores the theme of vagrant birds, migratory birds that missed their designated goals and arrive in entirely new regions: will they stay, fly off somewhere else, survive? The landscape photographs were taken in Japan's San'in region after Ito's move in 2021 to Tottori Prefecture, whose name contains the character for bird. As in the earlier book, the theme of migratory birds overlaps with the photographer's own life, underpinning captivating photographs of weathered seascapes, lakes, shrubbery and scattered houses with deeper layers of meaning. In the afterword Ito says that his feelings of excitement and anxiety about the place have softened, and hopes the book conveys how his gaze on it has become slightly stronger.
