Tokyo
Ishigaki Shincho moved to Tokyo in 1937 at the age of 22. He worked at Moriyama Photo Studio for two years. It is unclear why he got a first job in Tokyo. It was likely that he moved there just because he accidentally found a suitable job in Tokyo at the right time.
During his two-year stay in Tokyo, he married a Yaeyama migrant who was working as an apprentice hairdresser in Tokyo. Then he and his wife moved back to Taiwan and opened his own photo studio.
