Rika Noguchi (Photographer)
Rika Noguchi, a photographer known for his photographic work with a unique sense of distance from the subject, who is sometimes referred to as the "eye of Gentiles", visited Nakanoshima and captured Nakanoshima from a unique perspective and tried to produce his work.
On foot, by boat, by bicycle, tour in different time zones such as morning and evening, photographing Nakanoshima in various seasons. In addition, we researched places where we could overlook Nakanoshima, photographed from high-rise buildings and aerial photography on a Cessna aircraft. In addition, we tried to shoot in close contact with Nakanoshima river cleaning boats and people cleaning the park.
