Miwa Yanagi, "Repunzel" Silver Gelatin Print
Fairy Tale, a third series of work (discussed in Anne Tucker’s essay), is tellingly sometimes referred to by Yanagi as “...fairy tales- the darkness of girlhood and the lightness of aging.”
This title is an unusual inversion of Western popular (marketing) values where the power and predominance of “youth culture” have tended to push women “beyond a certain age” into obscurity, if not into the clutches of plastic surgeons in attempts to freeze frame their faces and their bodies. Yanagi, however, focuses on the entrapment of young women within the confines of traditional Japanese society. Referring to the world of Takarazuka theater to which she was introduced as a child, a theatrical tradition performed exclusively by little girls (performers had to be unmarried), Yanagi has commented:
“The construction of ‘little girls’ protected in the world of Takarazuka, is in fact based on female ideals created by Japanese men of the past: women who are loyal to their men and educated as a ‘good wife, wise mother’...The contorted reality of Takarazuka contributes to the complexity of feminist discourse in Japan.”
Balanced on a springy mattress with a teeny table lamp behind for lighting trying not to wobble around as the shutter takes a terribly long time to close...

*Click on the 'Miwa Maru No.18' tag below to view a few more images of this vessel.*
Details sought for this small, Japanese registered, tuna long-liner fishing vessel.
The builder's plate appears to indicate that it was built in 1991, in Japan.
It is the only Japanese long liner of these dimensions and design I have ever seen at Las Palmas.
