“I like watching the morning sun. The power of the sun rising… It makes me feel like I have to work hard again today. A new day has arrived.”
Even those who call Oku-Matsushima home consider the locale one of the Japan’s most scenic views. And yet it remains one of the nation’s best-kept secrets—occupied by a friendly community of people who speak of the small village as having a beauty that humbles you.
Abe Koya, an oyster fisherman whose relationship with Oku-Matsushima goes as deep as the pearlescent waters bordering it, says that the waters here were made for oysters. Famed for its plump, juicy oysters honed by mineral-rich waters and fishing techniques, the serendipitous conditions of this town are a reminder of nature’s persistent prowess.
“I’m made most aware of the greatness of nature and the smallness of humans, the smallness of myself … I want people to actually come here, to see the scenery once, and feel it with their own skin.”
Witness the breathtaking bounties of this 7,000 year-old village and meet its welcoming community through the lens of Gui Martinez, a solo traveller and photographer who documented his experience there on rich, reversal film.
Whether to villager or visitor, Oku-Matsushima is where all roads lead home.
