"Why is a Japanese man photographing Korea!"
Shisei Kuwabara, a 90-year-old master of Japanese photojournalism, has traveled to
Korea more than a hundred times over the past sixty years, recording the events
large and small that ran through the Korean Peninsula in some 100,000 frames.
His lens took in the lives of ordinary people along the Cheonggyecheon stream, the
democratization movement, the camp town of Dongducheon, the dispatch of Korean
troops to Vietnam, and everyday scenes in Pyongyang. He was deported from the
South and barred from entering the North, yet he never let go of the living faces he
had found there.
