Info
"Kin zoku" by Mei Kanamoto
japanese.neo.noir contemporary series JNN#4
"The book delves into the complexities of identity as a third-generation Korean-Japanese individual bearing the last name 金本 (Kanamoto), where the character ‘金’ (kana) is concealed and translated as ‘KIM,’ a prevalent Korean surname. This book involves visual elements such as illustrated patterns, photography, and artwork, effectively portraying the fluid and transient essence of one’s identity. Having grown up in a family that owned a Pachinko business, I used some of the gambling machine as symbolism to delve into the challenges and experiences documented."MK
