SUDIRU
Keisho Okamoto, Daichiro Shinjo
Keisho Okamoto (1937-2024) was a Zen monk deeply rooted in Miyako Island and one of the earliest folklorists to undertake the study of Okinawan folklore. Beginning in the latter half of the 1960s, before the reversion of Okinawa to Japan, he conducted extensive fieldwork primarily in the village of Karimata, delving into the folk culture of the region under the influence of leading Japanese scholars such as Kunio Yanagita, Shinobu Orikuchi, and Kitaro Nishida.
This book compiles photographs taken by Okamoto between the late 1960s and late 1970s as part of his practice of folklore as local studies. His lens captured the rituals and ceremonies of Karimata, Shimajiri, Ikema Island, Nishihara, Kurima Island, and Sunagawa. What emerges from these images transcends their role as research materials: they are unembellished portrayals of people expressing gratitude to the gods and to nature, deeply immersed in prayer. As Okamoto was not a professional photographer, his images project a reality free from artistic manipulation, offering a raw and intimate perspective on these sacred moments.
The book also presents works by Daichiro Arashiro, who overlays Okamoto's photographs with layers of indigo and ink, layering the present over the past to create a space for rebirth. Following Okamoto's passing, his invaluable academic materials--including photographs, notebooks, audio recordings, and artifacts--were continuously preserved by his grandson, Arashiro. The past recorded by Okamoto intersects with the present lived by Arashiro, resurrecting the photographs into the contemporary world and forging a dialogue across time. Furthermore, the academic perspective titled "Okamoto's Approach to the Study of Folklore" by folklorist Takanori Shimamura and the contribution by photographer Naoki Ishikawa add depth to this exploration of cultural continuity and transformation.
The title, "Sudiru," is a word from the Miyako language meaning "rebirth" or "resurrection." Through the dialogue between Keisho Okamoto and Daichiro Arashiro, this book invites us to reflect on our roots and poses questions to a world where diverse cultures and values intersect, offering a new perspective on the present.
"Folkloric turning. This is precisely what Shinjo is attempting with this book. Okamoto's folklore studies acquire an entirely new form of expression through their connection and fusion with the works of contemporary calligrapher Daichiro Shinjo."
Takanori Shimamura
"Just as Atget's photographs were discovered by Berenice Abbott and the value of Tsuneichi Miyamoto's photographs was reappraised by Daido Moriyama, Keisho Okamoto's photographs stand tall as a monument to the photographic record and memory due to the efforts of his grandson, Daichiro Shinjo. It gives me great pleasure that the photographs of Keisho Okamoto, which touched my heart five years ago, have stood the test of time and will be released in the form of a photobook."
Naoki Ishikawa
"Originally, the photographs were not supposed to be made public. But from the instant my grandfather pressed the shutter, through the long and involved process that culminated in their presentation in this expressive form in our time, there is great significance. As I confront these images, the sense of glimpsing my own "roots" fills me with energy and vitality. It seems as if a single thread for expressing the present moment is strongly tied to each of the photographs. Mysticism, curiosities, rarity-these are of no importance. As I continue to engage with the foundation of my being, it seems that I am tracing a path back to my umbilical cord that gives me a sensation of subdued excitement within my heart.What appear in the photographs are not artificial performances but simply the authentic and unpretentious appearances of people who are naturally expressing gratitude to the gods and to nature."
Daichiro Shinjo

Keisho Okamoto
Keisho Okamoto (b. 1938) served as head priest of Ryuhozan Shoun-ji, a temple of the Myoshin-ji school of Rinzai Zen Buddhism, founded on Miyako Island in 1611. Alongside his temple duties, Okamoto was also a tireless folklorist who conducted research on the indigenous folkways of Miyako Island before Okinawa's reversion in 1972. Okamoto was a keen observer of shamanism on Miyako Island, drawing on his perspective as a Zen monk to explore the island's spiritual culture as seen in its folk beliefs and myriad village rituals. He worked to preserve fossils and folk tools gathered around the island, along with artifacts that had survived at Shoun-ji temple. Much of his collection was donated to the Miyakojima City Museum and the Okinawa Prefectural Museum, where these precious materials can be seen today. Okamoto was involved in the creation of the Miyakojima City Museum as a member of the Hirara City (present-day Miyakojima City) museum council, the committee for the protection of cultural properties, and the historiography committee. As both a religious scholar and native son of Miyako Island,
Okamoto's extensive firsthand research into the local beliefs, customs, and terroir was instrumental in furthering an understanding of the island's folklore. His books include Beliefs and Rituals of Miyako Island, published by Dai-ichi Shobo.

Daichiro Shinjo
Daichiro Shinjo (b. 1992) was born and raised on Miyako Island, Okinawa. Introduced to the world of Buddhism from an early age by his grandfather, the folklorist and Zen priest Keisho Okamoto, Shinjo first began practicing calligraphy at the age of four. Building on his upbringing steeped in the teachings of Zen and the spiritual culture of Okinawa, Shinjo brings contemporary new light to calligraphic traditions with his own free style, unbound by traditional calligraphic forms.
A graduate of the Shizuoka University of Art and Culture, Shinjo's work has been exhibited widely both in Japan and abroad. In 2017, he presented his first solo exhibition, Surprise, at Playmountain Tokyo. In 2023, he made his international exhibition debut with a solo show at the ALTA Gallery in Los Angeles. Shinjo has also collaborated with fashion brands such as Comme des Garçons and Hermès, appearing in the latter's documentary film series Human Odyssey in 2021. Shinjo currently resides on Miyako Island, where he founded the artist residency and gallery PALI in May 2022.
