Bunyo Ishikawa Photo reportage North Vietnam

Bunyo Ishikawa (1938-) is a photographer born in Okinawa. In 1964, when Ishikawa, who quit the movie company every day and was on a “no-money trip”, stayed in Hong Kong, the “Gulf of Tonkin Incident” occurred, which led the United States to deepen full-scale intervention in the Vietnam War. From the following year, Ishikawa joined the United States Marine Corps as a military photographer, began shooting the Vietnam War, and even after returning to Japan, he continued to photograph the area. This exhibition focuses on photographs taken when Ishikawa was staying in Vietnam.
