The gods' appearance is in the gaze of the people who worship them. Their earnest eyes. Their perfectly synchronized worship. The gods of Taketomi Island are in the pious hearts of the people. This is evident from the back of the Kanchikasa (Hikasa) praying wholeheartedly. At the end of the Kanchikasa's prayer is the god seated on Ubu. Iriri's camera captures the back of the Kanchikasa, but his gaze is focused on the single grain of white sand just beyond the Kanchikasa's bowed head, capturing the serene figure of Ubu. The white sand spread in the sacred gardens of the Utaki is a symbol of the pure hearts of the islanders who welcome the gods. There the gods reside.\" Iriri's photographs whisper this in our ears. The highlight is the photograph of Pilsma. Without Iri's photograph, this ritual would surely have been lost forever. It is said that this photograph was taken with the permission of the gods. The Omoro Sōshi sings of the armed warriors of Kikoe Ogimite Okimi to protect the royal authority of Shuri. Volumes 1-5 state, \"Ichi Kikoe Ogimite Okimi, Meshowachie Katanauchii Jagunito Yomiyoware.\" Thus, the female deity of ancient Ryukyu was armed and clashed swords. This is confirmed in other documents. However, this photograph is the only video available. Iri's awe is expressed in the section at the end of the volume, \"Me, Photographs, and Taketomi Island.\" As symbolized by this photograph, this photobook is also a valuable record of Taketomi Island's rituals. Artistic and documentary photography. I see this as an ambitious photobook that simultaneously achieves these two goals.
