In 1945, the battle of Okinawa, the final ground combat of World War II between the US and Japan, deprived the lives of a quarter of civilians in Okinawa. In the 1960s, still carrying the wounds in their bodies and minds, the survivors and their children were once again shaken by a war ? the Vietnam War. Relentless despatchers of B52 bombers took place at Kadena Air Base as the staging front of the attack before the eyes of Okinawans. It was a war in a mess, with US-Russia meddling, claiming 3 million people. To an Okinawa-born photojournalist, Bunyo Ishikawa, it was a war to be recorded both in Vietnam and in Okinawa. From 1964 to 1968, Ishikawa served as an embedded journalist with the US Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, risking his life to record the realities of the war. What was the war he captured through his lens half a century ago? What did he see in the faces of humans in the extreme hell of the battlefield? Today, the world sees no end in sight to the war in Ukraine while the situation in the Middle East is worsening. As military boots approach to drag the world into war, we observe the finalization of life activity by the 86-year-old battlefield journalist to contemplate what peace is.
