Day 6 we start heading west, TosaCity [1] meeting a young farmer, Morisawa, who’s making Buntang his life. Apart from growing the common Yuzu, this [2] pomelo like fruit came here from South East Asia, Malaysia/ Indonesian region. Uniquely from #kochian, it is a cross-breed with local varieties. [3] In the field, making portraits of the and his proud work. [4] The boot of our car is starting to become a mobile darkroom. [5] On the way back, we stop over a retired shopkeeper, Kenjisan, making a portrait [6]. Ginger farming is in harvest, and the countryside is full of fieldwork harvesting ginger, Yuzu and many other fruits before winter sets in. [7] Quick stop at the used store to get extra lights for the exhibition, wow, many stuff I could use to make cameras here. [8] we have some official visits, most importantly from the art council on a review of our work. [9] Most heartwarming was the visit from hunter, Kumosan, and Yasuko, bearing gifts of local cake and my favourite mochi! [10] Portrait of Yasuko, doing important work, rebuilding rural communities. Mitsu and I feel is the overall theme of our project, migration, identity, sense of belonging
