A Man Goes to North
http://canadians.exblog.jp/
It used to be very common for Japanese people to stay and live up within the soil but has been just changing recently, I think. Not only so-called Second Life generations but many men and women are trying to replace their life abroad. Maybe I myself is one of the first comers and am hoping to contribute to the later comers' challenges by showing how I made my way as ex-patrial and what my failures so far were. Also, by exposing how I became span out of the Japanese society and by throwing an outsider's set of eyes to Japan I am hoping to sacrifice myself for the people to grasp what ever the problems there are and find any hints for better directions. Thus, I will open to the public a photos & nonfiction work for travelling and living in Canada where I tried to immigrate first. The title is "A Man Goes to North." What I wrote in it was too vivid in the characters' memory when described in 2005, but as a time went by it should become seen more objectively by them now. The names of the persons and so on are all real ones and written matters are nothing but facts and truth. They may sue me for their names, though I won't put anonymous for wishing the later comers not to repeat the same mistakes as me. I welcome any offers to publish a book for this work from any nations for my first aim of leaving Japan was to do such a business. Yes, I want a publisher to sell it on market! I believe that upon accomplishing it could be a MUST PHOTO-ESSAY FOR IMMIGRANTS not only for Canada but for the worldwide for taken pictures and written by a 'refugee' of a developed country of Far East. On the web the work is to be serialised by day by day basis in exciteblog: http://canadians.exblog.jp/ Starting with the introduction now, main topics will be started in November, 2007. I planned to finish putting in about 2 months, and then will open to the public another short photos & essay work, in which I shockingly confess why I turned to leave the country (it was made before leaving).
