Japanese photographer Koji Onaka first visited Busan, South Korea, in 1996. This photobook chronicles his ten-day stay, as the title suggests. Using both monochrome and color film, the photographer spontaneously shares scenes from his trip in the understated, soothing style for which he is now known.

About the Artist:
In 1982, after graduating from Tokyo Photography College at 22, Onaka joined “CAMP,” an independent gallery founded by Daido Moriyama. Their first exhibition took place in 1983, featuring photos of Onaka’s hometown, which he hadn’t visited since childhood. At 28, he opened “Gallery Kaido” and held a series of 32 exhibitions titled “Seitaka-awadachiso” over four years. After the series ended, Onaka published his first photo book. Since then, he has traveled extensively in rural Japan and abroad, always searching for traces of their memories in the places he visits. This limited edition catalogue was published alongside the exhibition in Negative Gallery in 2023.
