Yamashita Tsuneo ( 山下恒夫 ) : photographer

Tsuneo Yamashita ( 山下恒夫 ) (18)Tsuneo Yamashita ( 山下恒夫 ) is a photographer who lives in Tokyo but has been taking black and white snapshots in Okinawa for over almost 30 years. They come from his book “Another Time on the Ryukyu Islands,” published in 2009 by Tosei-sha. In a statement for the series, he writes, “When I took these pictures, I had no intention of introducing Okinawa, or explaining certain events. These were simply taken while on short personal trips, printed out after my return, and stashed away in a box for myself. [...] I never submitted any of these photos to school, and just kept them with me for many years.”
