A photo collection by one of Japan's leading photographers, Kazuo Kitai, entitled "Agitators: Kazuo Kitai Works Vol. 2". He began taking photographs on his own while studying at Nihon University College of Art, and in 1965 released "Resistance," a work depicting 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 a work entitled "Sarizuka." In the 1970s, he won the first Kimura Ihei Award for "To the Village," which documented the lives of people in rural areas left behind during the high-growth era, and in the 1980s and beyond, he continued to present works depicting the daily lives of ordinary people from a unique perspective, capturing ordinary daily life with a warm gaze, using his excellent themes and outstanding aesthetic sense. This book is a collection of works that were attempted to be published as a sequel after the publication of "Resistance," but were forced to be abandoned at the time. It is titled "Kitai Kazuo Works Collection 2" to indicate that it is a sequel to "Resistance." Limited to 1,000 copies.
