"Kōzō" (structure) is a critical journal that analyzes postwar Japanese politics, economics, and society from a unique perspective. Originally published as "Kōzō December 1970 issue" by Keizai Kōzōsha, it was renamed "Kōzō" in 1970 and became a monthly magazine. Against the backdrop of social problems that became apparent in the shadow of rapid economic growth, it focused on a structural analysis of Japanese capitalism, while actively addressing issues facing society at the time, such as labor movements, student movements, the Sanrizuka struggle, the return of Okinawa, pollution problems, and solidarity with Asia. Unlike typical economic magazines, its major characteristic is its cross-sectional discussion of social movements, ideology, and culture, making it a valuable record for understanding the social conditions of the 1960s and 70s. Furthermore, the magazine features numerous documentary and archival photographs capturing scenes from society, making it a highly valuable resource for visually conveying the social movements and urban landscape of the time. Currently, it is in limited circulation and is a highly valuable resource not only for studying the intellectual and social history of postwar Japan, but also for examining photography and publishing culture. This issue's special feature is "A Study of Takaaki Yoshimoto," but the first eight pages include an illustration of "Takuma Nakahira: The City."
