"Reset--Beyond Fukushima: Will the Nuclear Catastrophe Bring Humanity to Its Senses?" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kazuma Obara. Born in Iwate Prefecture in 1985, Obara began taking photographs in high school and traveled the world taking snapshots during his university years. After graduating, he joined a financial institution. While working as a company employee, he was inspired by photojournalist Kuninori Takahashi and participated in one of Takahashi's workshops, which led him to pursue a career as a photographer. His photobook, "Silent Histories" (handmade in 45 copies), which follows the lives of victims of air raids during the Pacific War, was nominated by Paris Photo and received numerous awards, and a popular edition was published by the Mexican publisher RM. This book is a compilation of images and text captured by Obara after he suddenly quit his job and traveled to Tohoku following the Great East Japan Earthquake, where he supported local disaster relief efforts and met with people.
