A photo collection by Japanese photographer Kazuo Kitai, "To the Village (Signed)". He started taking photographs while studying at Nihon University College of Art, and in 1965 released "Resistance," which depicted the protests against the docking of nuclear submarines at the Yokosuka US military base. After dropping out of university in the same year, he continued to take photographs as reportage on the anti-war movement and the Zenkyoto movement, and from 1969 he compiled the lives of people living in the protests against the construction of the New Tokyo International Airport into "Sarizuka." In the 1970s, he published "To the Village," which documented the lives of people in rural areas left behind during the high-growth era, and as the representative of "Nora-sha," he published many masterpieces, including "Kimura Ihei Paris." Since the 1980s, Kazuo Kitai has continued to present works that depict the daily lives of ordinary people from a unique perspective, capturing the ordinary everyday with a warm gaze, with his excellent thematic setting and outstanding aesthetic sense. This book is the shining winner of the first Kimura Ihei Photography Award, "To the Village." It is a social documentary that travels all over Japan, carefully depicting the forgotten good old Japanese lifestyle and original landscapes, and the daily lives of the people living there, and is one of Kitai Kazuo's early masterpieces. It is a limited edition of 333 copies, including unpublished works, published by Only Photography, a German publisher of many good books. Three types of covers. Numbered. Signed by the photographer .
