Box set which contains the photobooks published as a trilogy of Nao Tsuda’s fieldwork series.”SAMELAND” captures the indigenous people of the Far North known as the Sami, “NAGA” captures the Naga people who live in the Sagaing Region of Myanmer, “IHEYA IZENA” captures the people living on the two small islands, Iheya Island and Izena Island, located in the northwestern part of the main island of Okinawa.

Fixing the size and number of pages, the title logotype and cover paper are selected based on the theme of each photobook, regional and ethnic characteristics and designed to have a site-specificity. In order to represent the breathing and warmth of the people living in the area, a bulky and rough paper which is ideal fro field notes is adopted and a design that does not cut off the makeupp on the upper side of the edge like a paperback.
