Asahi Camera
Despite these hardships, a number of photographs Shiotani took on the trip soon appeared in magazines. His "Bird's-Eye View of a Village" ("Mura no chōkan", ) was published in the March 1926 issue of "Geijutsu Shashin Kenkyū". It was influenced by Picasso and Braque's paintings from L'Estaque (which Shiotani knew of thanks to the writings of Nakajima), and also Maeta's paintings of Paris. In 1926, he won the first prize in the first contest ever run by "Asahi Camera", with "Fishing Village" ("Gyoson", ), a photograph of Takohana.
