A rare glimpse into Japan’s early underwater photography boom of the 1980s.
Photographer Katsumi Oka dives into this tropical obsession — models suspended in light and water, their movements captured in shimmering bursts of film color.
This photo book celebrates the crossover between idol culture, marine imagery, and photographic experimentation.
A visual diary of Japan’s fascination with leisure, sunlight, and underwater bodies.
