This is a compilation of the 1972 edition of the "Album" series, which was a collection of works that Camera Mainichi publicly solicited from professionals and amateurs in the 1970s. Kazuo Nishii, who worked as an editor under Shoji Yamagishi, stated in his book "Homage to Photo Editor Shoji Yamagishi" (2002) that the greatest achievements of Camera Mainichi and Shoji Yamagishi in the 1970s were "the early introduction of Diane Arbus to Japan" and "the establishment of the album." There was a time when being featured in the album was a stepping stone not only for amateurs who enjoyed photography, but also for those aiming to become professionals. This book also features a series of "album-style" images typical of the 1970s, such as Issei Suda's "Amagi Pass," Tamiko Nishimura's "The North Country," Yasuo Yokogi's (debut work) "Hellow, Good-bye," Takeshi Obara's "365," Toshio Yamada's "Black" and "Our House's Swallow."
