Japan
An American-born photographer, James Whitlow Delano has been living in Asia, mostly in Japan,
for over 20 years. He photographs the country with the lucid eyes of a foreigner, but with a profound
knowledge of the country and its culture. He is like a family member that comes to town for a visit,
familiar, but at the same time distant, thereby offering an original insight into the place.
His main work in Japan is collected in an ongoing series called Mangaland. Manga are a typical
style of comic strip historically specific to Japan, with recognizable features, but covering a variety
of genres and themes. And like manga, Japanese culture can be seen as an animated cartoon with
protagonists and adventures - a very peculiar style with underlying criptic messages.
James’ view on Japanese culture is profound and insightful. He goes beyond the surface, the
superficial icons and stereotypes, showing us the heart and soul of a culture that is often shy and
reserved. Japanese people are not loud, they do not express themselves or their emotions publicly.
They prefer to let silence speak and to carry on smiling. Their deep respect for their surroundings
and for others creates a distance which is often impenetrable. James manages to see through it and
to manifest the contradictions and essence of Japanese culture through his unique images. His style
makes them even more unique.
The other part of the work presented here is his documentation of the 2011 tsunami aftermath. The
images in the series Black Tsunami are a journalistic documentary, and at the same time a moving
testimony from the inside. Japan is James’ home and he dutifully registered the disastrous event and
consequences without abandoning his unique style and whole-hearted respect for the region.
His images reveal the-day-after atmosphere in an eerie and cinematographic way. But we are not in
a scary movie here. What we see is real and James was there to create a record of it. A record that
also contributed to the collection of funds to aid the population at a time of disarray. But mostly an
unfinished record that aims to keep attention focused on a situation that, although not headline news
anymore, like many “aftermaths”, still has its long-term effects and is still far from any solution or
conclusion.
Arianna Rinaldo
Mangaland
Japan is a Mangaland. No other local product describes its energy better than mangas. I have
reached the conclusion that photographing Japan and finding the right words to describe the
prevailing mentality is not an easy task. It’s as if an alternative, impenetrable reality lies just beneath
the surface, peeping out. You can learn a lot about these people by studying their internal world. It’s
a very real world, but full of inconsistencies. A cool nut bears insipid flowers. Their smiles are sullen
and resentful but their impassive faces hide unsuspected human warmth. Our Western values are
overturned, challenged and politely ridiculed. Convictions become relative. Taboos are met with
indifference. They gently toy with them without any apparent feeling, but in the end they always break
them. Then they discreetly toss them aside before returning to work the next morning, possible never
to be break them again.
Here certain freedoms have never existed and have never even been desired, while others are
stillborn. Little importance is attached to the individual. There was no Renaissance here, nor even a
cultural revolution. Nevertheless there are millions of private places within the public spaces on their
overcrowded trains and busy streets, and rarely are these private places violated. They are designed
to avoid unpredictable and potentially embarrassing contact. Designed specifically to alienate, which
is precisely what they do. Through selective amnesia today’s acquaintance is tomorrow’s stranger.
Even though you are quite familiar with him, all of a sudden it becomes risky to say hello to that sales
assistant if you meet him in the street, under entirely different circumstances. Idle gossip is reduced
to empty platitudes and that’s about as far as it goes. But that yearning gaze of a member of the
opposite sex, reflected in the commuter train window, can easily devour and stimulate your fertile
imagination. Each time it happens, your eyes meet just for one fleeting moment, but never again.
That powerful, uncertain twinkling is gone forever, leaving you shaken and yearning for more, fully
aware that it can never be repeated. It is an unbearable, chemical turmoil from all points of view.
Japan is a minefield for fanatics, but totally liberating to an observer who is not bound by its
straitjacket rules of conduct. Its crowded sidewalks are the loneliest places on earth, but you are
rarely physically alone. Human nature is squeezed, remodelled and distilled in the volcanic radiance
that is Japan.

Black Tsunami
Fearing the worst, with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant melting down, we loaded up a
rented van with extra cans of gasoline, water and food. We crossed Honshu at 3:00 am to the far Sea
of Japan coast. Roads would be clear over there and a spine of volcanic mountains, we believed,
would at least partially protect us from the cloud of radioactivity that transformed from a worst fear
into reality that day. It was a time when the impossible just kept on happening.
By the time we cut back toward the Pacific side of Honshu, the rain had turned to snow. Supply lines
were breaking down. Gas lines for cars extended for mile upon snowy mile, drivers could be seen
huddling against the cold inside. Hours after dark, drivers would leave their cars in line overnight,
returning to them again before dawn.
Survivors shuffled through the mud and snow in a state of shock. Soon we joined these shuffling
masses, feet soaked with freezing cold black mud carried in by the tsunami. Moving inside
provided little relief because inside evacuation centers temperatures hovered below 10° C (50° F)
conditions that leaned heaviest on the very young and the very old. No words were necessary for
communication. It was there I first encountered a peculiar ‘infinity-stare,’ born of worry, cold, hunger
and lack of sleep. It would become a familiar expression in the time ahead.
The first thing forgotten, when confronted by disaster, are the raw moments. Maybe it is a built-in
human defense mechanism to protect us. Without them, all the hard edges are able to soften and
the knife-slicing survival instincts start to fade to extinction like most dreams do in the morning. This
collection of photographs was a conscious effort to remember from where the people of Tohoku have
emerged. It is seared into their DNA now but, already, even the tsunami survivors’ memories have
begun to blur over time. Recently, I have mined these memories before they inevitably evaporate.
This Black Tsunami series is a part of that process.
Four years on, some of the spiritual wounds have scabbed over, others never will but the people of
Tohoku have made significant progress putting their lives back together. Their struggle, especially for
the residents from the nuclear no-entry zone, is far from over.

Daibutsu (Great Buddha), cast in bronze in 1252, sits in the
open air in Kamakura, Japan but it originally housed inside a
temple building until an earthquake-trigger tsunami swept away
the building, leaving the 13.35 meter high (44 ft.) sitting forever
in the Kanto Plain. Over 100,000 people died in the Great
Kanto Earthquake in 1923 as firestorms swept across the city,
raising entire districts. The great quake moved Daibutsu 2/3 of
a meter (2ft.). 40,000 people went missing. The Japanese
government considered moving the nation's capital from Tokyo,
as commentators attributed the disaster as divine retribution
against Japanese people for living "extravagant" lifestyles.
There have been major earthquakes in Tokyo in 1703, 1855
and 1923. 91 years have passed and many are worried that
Tokyo is overdue for another mega-earthquake.
Daibutsu (il Grande Buddha), un bronzo del 1252, giace all'aria aperta
a Kamakura, Giappone, ma originariamente era situato in un tempio a
lui dedicato, finché uno tsunami non ha spazzato via l'edificio,
lasciando per sempre la statua di 13.35 metri (44 piedi) sulla piana di
Kanto. Oltre 100.000 persone morirono nel grande terremoto di Kanto
nel 1923 e tempeste di fuoco lambirono interi quartieri. Il grande
terremoto spostò Daibutsu di circa 65 centimetri (2 piedi). 40.000
persone risultarono disperse. Il governo giapponese prese in
considerazione l'idea di spostare la capitale dello Stato da Tokyo,
poiché alcuni opinionisti attribuivano il disastro alla punizione divina
contro i giapponesi, rei di avere "stravaganti" stili di vita. Ci sono stati
terremoti peggiori a Tokyo, nel 1703, 1855 e nel 1923. Sono passati
91 anni e in molti temono che Tokyo si avvicini all'appuntamento con
un altro mega terremoto.

Aso Volcano erupts sending ash outward from its central mountain
pedestal, out over rich farmland that occupies this the bottom of a
massive and ancient caldera. Japanese accept that their verdant country,
dense with mountains, dense with 135 volcanoes, dense with humanity,
sits on a very active part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. Kumamoto
Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. In recent months, five volcanoes ((Aso,
Ontake, Kuchinoerabu, Asama & Hakone) have erupted and there has
been a major earthquake. Many experts, and not a few residents, worry
that, since the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster, that
Japan has entered into an era of increased seismic activity.
Two Kobe University researchers, Yoshiyuki Tatsumi and Keiko Suzuki,
declared that it was 'not an overstatement' to state there is a 1% chance
that a colossal volcanic eruption in the next 100 years on the island of
Kyushu that could immediately bury 7 million people there and create a
toxic gas and ash cloud making this nation of 127 million people
"uninhabitable".
The sun sets behind Mt. Fuji as seen from the Tokyo Metropolitan
megapolis. Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest mountain (3,776m / 12388 ft) and the
symbol of the nation is an active volcano. Mt. Fuji sits 100 km away from
the Tokyo metropolitan area megapolis of 30 million people. It is also
about due to erupt, as it last erupted in 1707. Retired Ryukyu University
professor Masaki Kimura believes it should haver erupted in 2011 (with a
four-year margin of error) because the pressure in the magma chamber is
believed to be higher than it was when it last erupted over 400 years ago,
which was triggered by a massive earthquake in Osaka. Many believe
that the massive earthquake in 2011 could be such a trigger.
An eruption of Mt. Fuji, a committee of experts believe, would cause the
worst damage to the city of Shizuoka at the base of the mountan and
580,000 people would need to evacuate due to lava and pyroclastic flows,
TV Asahi reported early in 2014. Volcanic ash could be carried to the
Tokyo metropolitan area affecting air, rail and roads, and highways.
More worrisome, Professor Kimura says that magma is rising and cracks
in the earth have been growing. The water level in Lake Sai, at the
volcanoes base rose by a meter after the Tohoku earthquake and
tsunami, suggesting he says that the rising magma is melting Fuji's
permafrost, which finds its way to the lake.

Il vulcano Aso erutta mandando cenere dal suo piedistallo centrale,
verso la ricca terra agricola che si trova ai piedi del suo massiccio e
antico bacino. I giapponesi accettano che la loro terra fertile, piena di
montagne, ricca di umanità e di 135 vulcani, si trovi sopra una zona
molto attica del Cerchio di Fuoco del Pacifico. Prefettura di Kumamoto,
Kyushu, Giappone. Recentemente, cinque vulcani ((Aso, Ontake,
Kuchinoerabu, Asama & Hakone) sono eruttati e c'è stato un forte
terremoto. Molti esperti, e non pochi residenti, sono preoccupati che, da
marzo 2011, con il terremoto, lo tsunami e il disastro nucleare, il
Giappone sia entrato in un'era di crescente attività sismica.
Due ricercatori dell'Università di Kobe, Yoshiyuki Tatsumi and Keiko
Suzuki, hanno dichiarato che non è una esagerazione dire che c'è un
1% di probabilità che una colossale eruzione vulcanica avvenga
nell'siola di Kyushu nei prossimi centanni, e che possa immediatamente
interrare 7 milioni di persone e creare una nube di gas e cenere tossica,
rendendo l'intera nazione di 127 milioni di abitanti, inabitabile.
Il tramonto dietro al Monte Fuji, con vista dalla metropoli di Tokyo. Il
Monte Fuji (3,776 metri/12388 piedi) è la montagna più alta del
Giappone, che adotta il vulcano come simbolo nazionale. La montagna
si trova a 100 km di distanza dalla zona metropolitana di Tokyo, dove
vivono 30 milioni di persone. Il vulcano ha eruttato nel 1707, ma presto
dovrebbe riattivarsi, secondo le previsioni. Masaki Kimura, un
professore in pensione della Ryukyu University, crede che il vulcano
avrebbe già dovuto eruttare nel 2011 (con un margine di errore di 4
anni) perché il livello della pressione del magma era già più elevato
dell'ultima eruzione avvenuta 400 anni fa, causata da un grande
terremoto a Osaka. Molti credono che il devastante terremoto del 2011
potrebbe essere la cause scatenante di una nuova eruzione.
Il comitato scientifico crede che i danni più devastanti si avrebbero nella
città di Shizuoka che si trova ai piedi della montagna. Se così fosse,
secondo quanto affermato dalla TV Asahi nel 2014, 580.000 persone
dovrebbero evacuare la zona a causa dell'esteso flusso di lava. La
cenere vulcanica potrebbe arrivare fino alla zona metropolitana di
Tokyo danneggiando aria, strade, ferrovie e autostrade.
Ancora più preoccupanti, secondo il professore Kimura, sono il livello
del magma che sta salendo e le crepe che stanno aumentando. Il livello
dell'acqua del lago Sai, che si trova ai piedi del vulcano, si è alzato di un
metro dopo il terremoto e lo tsunami di Tohoku. Secondo Kimura questo
è la causa del livello elevato del magma che sta sciogliendo il
permafrost del Monte Fuji.
