Description
Teshima Island, one of Japan's 28 Shiwaku Islands, is a place of stark contrasts. Once famous for its navy and shipbuilding skills, the island now lies largely abandoned, with only a dozen residents remaining. Bamboo forests have reclaimed the terraced fields that once covered the mountains, including the stone walls that were left behind. The island's last fisherman passed away at the end of last year, leaving his fishing boat tied up in the harbor, swaying gently in the waves. This poignant scene serves as a reminder of the present situation of Japan as an island nation. Kentaro Kumon's photographs capture the stillness and quiet of Teshima Island, inviting us to reflect on the changing world around us. Kentaro Kumon is a photographer known for his work in various fields, including magazines, books, and advertising. His award-winning photography has been widely recognized, and this book presents some of his most striking images.
