Japanese photographer Kazuo Kitai presents "To the Village (Signed)," a photo collection. Self-taught, he began taking photographs while studying at Nihon University College of Art. In 1965, he published "Resistance," a documentary of the protests against the docking of nuclear submarines at the U.S. Yokosuka military base. After dropping out of university that same year, he continued to photograph anti-war and Zenkyoto protests as reportage. In 1969, he began work on "Sanrizuka," documenting the lives of those living in the struggle against the construction of the New Tokyo International Airport. In the 1970s, he published "To the Village," documenting the lives of rural people left behind during the era of rapid economic growth. Furthermore, as president of Norasha, he published numerous masterpieces, including "Kimura Ihei: Paris." Since the 1980s, he has continued to produce works that portray the daily lives of ordinary people from a unique perspective. With his exceptional thematic choices and exceptional aesthetic sense, he has continued to capture the mundane with a warm gaze. This book is the illustrious winner of the first Kimura Ihei Photography Award, "To the Village."
