    About the Book

    Edit

    Nozaki Island is a small, stunning island located off the southwest coast of Japan. It is renowned for the natural beauty of its forested, mountainous landscape and for the quiet stillness of its sacred sites. To the north lies Okino-Kojima, an ancient Shinto Shrine, and Oe-Ishi, a megalithic rock structure. Atop a hillside stands the former Nokubi Church, commissioned by the descendants of Christian families who fled to Nozaki during the religious persecutions of the 1600s to practice their faith in secret. The island was once home to a population of around 650 people spread across three villages. Now, due to changing economic tides, the island lies empty. In place of its previous inhabitants, 400 wild deer roam freely through the remains of the island's natural, sacred, and abandoned spaces. Through timeless black and white photographs, Zoe Litaker will guide you through the wild landscapes and sacred spaces of Nozaki Island.

    野崎島は、日本の南西海岸沖に位置する小さくて美しい島である。森林に覆われた山岳地帯の自然の美しさと、「神道」と「キリスト教」の2つの深い信仰の神聖な場所として有名。北には沖ノ神嶋神社が社殿を構え、その後方には王位石(オエイシ)とよばれる鳥居型の巨石がそびえ立つ。丘の中腹には旧野首教会が建つ。この教会は、1600 年代の宗教迫害中に野崎に逃れ、密かに信仰を実践したキリスト教徒の子孫によって建てられた。島にはかつて、3 つの村にまたがる約 650 人の人口が住んでいたが、経済情勢の変化により、現在はほぼ無人である。以前の住民の代わりに、400 頭の野生の鹿が、雄大な自然と神聖な空間の中で自由に歩き回っている。ゾーイ・リテイカーが時代を超越したモノクロ写真を通して、野崎島の自然豊かな風景と神聖な空間を案内する。
