A photographic memoir of the summer of 1976, when Kazuyuki Kawaguchi travelled to Okinawa for the first time and began a lifelong relationship between the island, its people and the photographer, who has photographed Okinawa for more than forty years. Bringing together countless negatives from that period, the book captures the essence of the community and the individuals Kawaguchi engaged with: portraits of workers in a factory, children at play, photographs that capture generations within a family, a personal journey that reflects both on the island's past and on its transformation in the present day.
