Through this illuminating series of images, we get to \"see\" Singapore's forgotten Little Japan, a once-flourishing enclave with a red-light district featuring \"karayuki-san\" - right where Bugis Junction stands today...\u003cp\u003eMute is a uniquely moving collection of photographs. Photographer Chua Aik Beng gives a highly personal take on Little Japan's forgotten history, prompting us to ask, \"Why do we not know?\"\u003cbr\u003eThe book also documents the responses of over 80 viewers from all walks of life. Their opinions, recollections and musing triggered by the photos offer us a fascinating, multifaceted look at memory, progress, and the nature of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044020895984,"sku":"9789814779685","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814779685_p0.jpg?v=1763692485","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814779685","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
