A photo exhibition recording the island's rituals, once taken by the late folklorist Okamoto Keiaki, the chief priest of Shoun-ji Temple in Miyakojima. Okamoto's photographs are interpreted by his grandson, Shinjo Daichiro, from an artist's point of view, and by showing them as “artistic expression,” we aim to create opportunities for diverse people to learn about the spiritual culture at the root of the island and reconsider culture.

11/18 (Mon) - 11/21 (Thu) @Miyakojima Miyakojima City Office Lobby
11/22 (Friday) - 12/1 (Sun) @Miyakojima/PALI GALLERY
