Exhibiting at a photo exhibition
                    Traveling Iron Man Ikeuchi Yoshimasa.

Bare feet grab the ground like an ostrich.
I was surprised because I couldn't see any hallux valgus.

Pigs are still more valuable than money in the central highlands
and in the middle and upper reaches of the Sepik River.

The ethnic dance SinSin
is also inherited among the tribes.
There was no other force.

It was a far cry from the excitement of
encountering the ceremonial dances of the fishing festival
and ceremonial occasions that are really held in the village.

The rainy Papua New Guinea is divided
into Papuans to the south,

New Guinea to the north, and highlands and Islands.

The Island is developing faster,
but only in the city.

Most people in the highlands live
on a self-sufficient basis through agriculture and fishing.

Traditional society is inherited and tribal unity is strong.
Young people work for the elderly,

living naked, far from the monetary economy looks comfortable.

Tourists who visit only a few thous
and people a year do not know if it is a resort area.

I wonder how much moisture the villagers
in the highlands and along the Karawari River have.

Every time I travel,
I feel a pain in myself as I go to see the people of an undeveloped country.

Kotetsu's one word

I thought the earth was wide. True happiness may be here
