A photojournalist who has visited the Bedouin people in Syria for the past 17 years has published a new photo book, titled "Arab."
"Although the country is not materialistically rich, people's lives were filled with the warmth of a family," said Megumi Yoshitake, 49, a Tokyo native. "I want Syria to return to its old days."
Yoshitake said she became interested in the desert-dwelling Arab ethnic group when she read a book about them and saw the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" when she was in junior high school.
