In 2026, photographer Eriko Masaoka created the series mijinko, cutting, photographing, and arranging contact sheets of photographs taken in Japan and abroad. As a medium that is physical, yet able to be shared widely, the work was published as a book in July 2026 by OKKO, an independent publishing label based in Osaka, Masaoka's hometown. Like water fleas, like drifting particles — the irregular sequence of small moments Masaoka has captured speaks to us of the invisible connections and dynamics underlying life, time, and the complexity of the world.
