"MINAMI" is an Osaka landscape cut by photographer Osamu Yokonami.

Osamu Yokonami took pictures of beautiful and somewhat smiling at the Shinsaibashi PARCO Open Catalog like an art book. Yokonami, who is based in Tokyo, has cut off the city of Osaka from the perspective of a Gentile. For those who live here, familiar scenery is showing a new appearance.

「MINAMI」

About 30 years ago, I came out of the countryside and lived in Osaka.

The first place where I lived was Tenroku, and the place where I went to play was north.

Minami is a city where fashionable people go.

The hurdle was high for me who came out of the countryside.

I was distracted. I was a little scared.

I was envied of such an energetic city

(Osamu Yokonami)
