As he grew closer to the islanders, he turned to the traces of the US military occupation from 1945 to 1968. The book opens with the words: \"Under US occupation, a nuclear warhead named Mary Had a Little Lamb was deployed on Chichijima.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis camera walks deep into a bunker in the mountains, where another chamber painted white appears. Behind a heavy, corroded steel door are walls and ceilings covered in copper plate, with a few fittings and a chair left behind. The photographs of a room where a weapon that \"should not exist\" once stood carry an overwhelming weight of lost time. Between them, the bright sea of Ogasawara appears without warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs of the bunkers of Chichijima and the sea around the islands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112 pages, softcover in a slipcase; text in Japanese and English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Shinichiro Nagasawa\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1977 in Tokyo, Nagasawa trained under photographer Tamotsu Fujii and became independent in 2006.
