A long-term documentary book centred on Kunihiko Kaino, one of the last surviving Japanese hard-helmet pearl divers, who migrated from Taiji in Wakayama to Broome in Western Australia after the Second World War. The project began in 2021 through a personal connection and developed over several years of close time spent with him at his home in Fremantle, as well as during his final return to Japan to visit his ninety-eight-year-old sister. The book unfolds in three parts — Japan, Australia, and a central chapter bringing together pictures made across three generations: by his father, by himself, and by the author. It spans nearly a century.
