"Records from the Unforgivable Days: A Photographic Collection of Thirty Days of the Struggle to Defend Democracy" is a documentary photo collection featuring photographs taken by Shigeichi Nagano (1925-2019), one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, and others. Nagano, who worked for the Iwanami Photo Library and other publications, continued to observe cities and the people who lived within them. In this book, he, along with Hiroshi Kawashima and the Japan Press Photography Department, documented the 1960 Anpo protests. The book covers approximately one month, from the forced vote in the House of Representatives on May 19th regarding the new Japan-U.S. Security Treaty, through the daily demonstrations and rallies, the protests around the National Diet on June 15th and the death of Michiko Kaba, and up to June 23rd, through photographs and text. In addition to photographs capturing union members, students, and citizens, it also includes the words of workers, students, and housewives, including Yutaka Arase, Yasusaburo Hoshino, and Tomoji Abe. Published by Mugi Shobo in 1960, the same year the incident occurred, this is a valuable contemporary document that conveys the fervor and tension of the 1960 Anpo protests from the perspective of those involved.
