The first book of Yasuo Higa and the most powerfull. Very early publication of the description of Okinawa, with the american solders occupation. 

Yasuo Higa is not only one of the most renowned photographers in Okinawa, but he is also famous for his significant contribution to the field of ethnography. After the B-52 crush at the Kadena Air Base in 1968, Higa resigned from his job as policeman and decided to become a photographer. He is a photographer who symbolizes Okinawa in a turbulent era when events such as the Vietnam War and the “Restoration” to Japan stirred the region.

Illustrated softcover, Italian format, oblong. Some stains on the cover. Otherwise in very good condition.
