■Story
An Okinawan photographer, Mao Ishikawa spent her early 20s working as a barmaid in establishments catered specifically to African American GIs stationed in Okinawa. “There was love,” as the tagline reads; her photography book, “Red Flower – The Women of Okinawa” captured the diaristic intimacy of friendships, love affairs, and wild nights shared amongst her social circle of that time. Looking back on those photographs and Okinawa in the wake of its reversion to Japan in 1972 after the U.S. rule, Mao takes us on the journey of her ardent-photographer life through history, politics, racism, love, empowerment, and raison d’être.

LIFE IN PHILLY by MAO ISHIKAWA (Gallery OUT of PLACE 2010)
Hot Days in Camp Hansen!! by MAO ISHIKAWA, HIGA TOYOMITSU (Aaman Shuppan 1982)
■Story
An Okinawan photographer, Mao Ishikawa was 33 years old when she crossed the ocean to Philadelphia in order to photograph the life of her friend, Myron Carr, a former US marine whom she met during his service in Okinawa in the 1970s. The subsequent photo book, “Life in Philly”, is filled with raw and vivid images, capturing the atmosphere and the culture of the predominantly African American neighborhood of downtown Philadelphia in the late 80s. This film looks back on those days, bringing Myron to remembrance as Mao and his surviving family try to find the missing pieces.
