Asahi Camera
Wanting to explore somewhere that (in contrast to India) was cold, as well as a Muslim land where Asian and European cultures meet, in 1994 Kikai made the first of six visits to Turkey, where he stayed for a total of nine months. His monochrome photographs of Turkey appeared in the magazine "Asahi Camera," and his colour photographs on its website, before the publication in January 2011 of his large book "Anatolia," a compilation of his monochrome work.
