Shinonome Omogo Ishizuchi

“This work was commissioned by the Kuma Museum of Art (Ehime Prefecture). It revolves around scenery in Ehime Prefecture and Matsuyama-born film director Itami Mansaku. It begins in Shinonome, the setting of a short story by poet Nakamura Kusatao which is thought to be a depiction of his friendship with Mansaku, and follows Mansaku as he return to Matsuyama from Kyoto where he has become a film director and visits Omogo and Ishizuchi.” (from the catalog of Image Forum Festival 2010)
