This book is Yukari Chikura’s preservation of the 1300-year-old Japanese ritual festivity “Zaido.” Following a series of tragedies including her father’s sudden death, her own critical accident and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Chikura recalls how her father came to her in a dream with the words: “Go to the village hidden deep in the snow where I lived a long time ago.” And so with camera in hand she set off on a restorative pilgrimage to northeast Japan (the first of numerous journeys), which resulted in this book.

Bañuelos captures a small glimpse into the massive Seattle drag scene – a time capsule, if you will. Covering these pages are friends and acquaintances. Intimate & intentional photos with candid performance shots sprinkled in.

“It is very important to me to show women as the protagonists with depth and complexity which moves beyond historical tropes of women in photographs as a focus of beauty, a woman as a muse and so on. The women in these pieces are parts of myself; they are women connecting, healing, suffering, touching, understanding, hiding and guiding.”
