Japanese photographer Tokutaro Tanaka's photo book “White Egret”. Photographer Tokutaro Tanaka, who has been called by the villagers as "Sagi Difference" and has spent his life on "Sagi". Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1909, retired from JNR who worked for 24 years and runs a photo material store in Urawa. Tanaka, who was fascinated by the fantastic beauty of white herons seen in Noda's Hatakeyama (now Midori Ward, Saitama City) in former Urawa City, visited by a friend in 1954. He started going to Ulsan, climbing trees, climbing on the roofs of farmhouses and slipping his feet. From the following year, we set up a 15-meter-high yagura in the forest of Hiyama and carefully captured the half-year's life of herons who built a nest in the yagura. Since then, the book has been recorded with photographs taken for about seven years. A number of beautiful illustrations with beautiful monochrome gravure printing and beautiful whiteness and contrast of herons. Many of the works have been permanently stored at famous museums in Japan and overseas, including MoMA. (Recorded in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
