„With his third photo book, Atsushi takes us throughout the beautiful Nagashima Island and the abandoned parts of  “Nagashima Aisei-en and Komyo-en” sanatoriums where Hansen’s disease patients (including the poet Akashi Kaijin) were quarantined from the rest of Japan. Atsushi’s childhood impression and memories from his visit to the island and sanatoriums, together with the beauty of the tones of his silver gelatin photographs hold together the story making his new book easy to follow.“
