Photographer Koji Onaka’s 10 days in Busan, Korea, which he first visited in 1996, have been reprinted in a photo book 27 years later. The monochrome film taken with a Nikon-F3 at the time has been reprinted with Onaka’s current interpretation in 2023, and the color reversal film taken with a Nikon-F90 has been digitally restored from fading.

About the Artist
In 1982, after graduating from Tokyo Photography College at 22, Onaka joined “CAMP,” an independent gallery founded by Daido Moriyama. Their first exhibition took place in 1983, featuring photos of Onaka’s hometown, which he hadn’t visited since childhood. At 28, he opened “Gallery Kaido” and held a series of 32 exhibitions titled “Seitaka-awadachiso” over four years. After the series ended, Onaka published his first photo book. Since then, he has traveled extensively in rural Japan and abroad, always searching for traces of their memories in the places he visits.
