After the publication of his well received work “Mirai-chan” Kawashima began his fascination with Taiwan its people and its culture. Over a period of three years, Kawashima made over 30 trips to the country taking more than 7 million photographs during his trips. Here within his publication Myojo(Star), Kawashima beautifully captures the people whom he met and those which whom he spent time with. The images are soft and tenderly capture each encounter with the individuals and places in which he found himself in, exploring and portraying Taiwan with an approach which is full of nostalgia and familiarity.
