Publisher's presentation :
"The book Shikishima is a series of photographs taken during 1969-72 on the artist Tamiko Nishimura’s journeys around the Tohoku, Hokuriku, Kanto, Kansai, and Chugoku regions of Japan.
To accompany the exhibition shikishima in Zen Foto Gallery in early 2014, Zen published a reprint of the 1973 edition of Shikishima, accompanied by a supplement composed of unpublished photographs, and English translations of the original text and a newly written text by Tamiko Nishimura."
Text by Tamiko Nishimura :

Still, while watching foreign ships in Kobe Port I dreamed of one day sailing in one to a country I’ve never been to before."
