This book is about Okinawa, an island devastated during the Second World War. Chloé Jafé draws a portrait of a place set apart from the rest of Japan — a visual exploration of its post-war history, its social outcasts and its sense of stalled time. The handwritten notes come from the guest books of love hotels and are anonymous; the transparencies are found negatives by an unknown author. Okinawa mon amour is the second chapter of Chloé Jafé’s trilogy SAKASA and comes in a black box.
