【 宮城県石巻市　金華山について】
金華山は宮城県の牡鹿半島の沖にぽっかりと浮かぶ島です。
そこにある黄金山（こがねやま）神社は、千年以上前に建てられ、東奥三霊場の一つとして古来より信仰を集めてきました。
今でも全国各地から参拝者が訪れています。その金華山には多くの鹿や猿が生息しています。
小さな孤島という閉ざされた環境の中で、生態系の変化や自然災害、気候変動などの影響をもろに受けながら、必死に命を繋いでいます。
その命を三上さんが重いフィルムカメラと望遠レンズを手に収めた記録です。

【 鹿角プロジェクトと三上さんとの関係】
東日本大震災での復興支援ボランティアとして石巻入りした際に、三上さんと出会いました。
三上さんご自身も被災者であるのにも関わらず、慣れ親しんだ金華山黄金山神社の復興を切に願い、一緒に復興支援を行いました。
三上さんから金華山の鹿の写真を過去に撮っていたと聞きましたが、多くは津波に流され手元に残っていませんでした。
しかし、一部のネガフィルムが見つかり、この度写真集にし多くの方々に知ってもらおうと写真集にすることにしました。

[ About Kinkasan, Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture ]
Kinkasan (Mount Kinka Island) is an island floating off the coast of the Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture.
Koganeyama Shrine, which is located there, was built over a thousand years ago and has been worshiped since ancient times as one of the three sacred places in the north eastern part of the country.
Even today, worshipers come from all over the country. Many deer and monkeys live on Kinkasan.
In the closed environment of a small isolated island, they are desperately trying to survive while being affected by changes in the ecosystem, natural disasters, and climate change.
This is a record of that life which Mikami captured with a heavy film camera and telephoto lens.

[ Photographer profile ]
Yoshihiro Mikami
Born in 1939 in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture.
Born as the third generation of a hardware store in Ishinomaki that has been in business for more than 100 years, he ran the business until his retirement.
While doing so, he commuted to Kinkasan and took numerous wildlife photographs. In the past, his deer and monkey photographs have been featured in TV, radio broadcast programs and newspapers.
For 27 years from 1983 to 2010, he served as the Worshippers Representative of Kinkasan Koganeyama Shrine.

[ Relationship between the Rokkaku Project and Mikami ]
We met Mikami when we visited Ishinomaki as a volunteer to support reconstruction efforts following the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Although Mikami himself was a disaster victim, he earnestly wished for the restoration of the Kinkasan Koganeyama Shrine, which he had become familiar with, and worked together to support its restoration.
We heard that he had taken photos of deer on Kinkasan (Mount Kinka Island) in the past, but many of them were washed away by the tsunami and no longer remain.
But recently, some of the negative films were found, and we decided to make it into this photo book, with the hope that as many people as possible could know about it.
