"New World Story" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Kazuo Kitai (1944-). Kitai has captured the everyday lives and social changes of ordinary people in postwar Japan with a calm and intimate perspective. He is known for his documentary work that captures the era and deeply examines human life, as seen in his masterpieces such as "To the Village" and "A Landscape I Once Saw." This book is part of a series set in Shinsekai, Osaka, meticulously capturing the people and scenery of Osaka's entertainment district, where the atmosphere of the Showa era still lingers. From the crowded streets gazing up at Tsutenkaku Tower to men lingering in the alleyways and the flickering lights of amusement parks and izakayas, Kitai's camera captures the passion, joy, and sorrow of life in the rich tones of monochrome. This is one of Kitai's most emotive works, a record of human existence thriving in the gaps between eras.
