During July 2015 I spent a month doing an arts residency in the small town of Itoshima in the South of Japan.  

 My host friend Hiro had worked in the rice industry for 8 generations and he was the first to give it up. I was saddened to hear that the rice industry is coming to an end in Itoshima.

The final images are installed in the windows of an ancient building looking over the remaining rice fields.
