Japanese photographer Kikujiro Fukushima is known for his photo collection "Pikadon: A Record of an Atomic Bomb Victim (Signed)." During his time as an amateur photographer, he spent 10 years documenting the plight and hardships of those affected by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. His early works include "Report from the Gas Bomb Valley (1969)," which depicts the struggle between the state and students, who continued to oppress them with illegal gas bombs, focusing on the University of Tokyo protests. He is a socially conscious photographer who has always been on the front lines, focusing on the atomic bomb issue, politics and military affairs, student movements, struggles, and welfare. While "Pikadon" was reprinted by Fukankan.com in 2017, this is a rare first edition. The rich black-and-white photogravure prints are outstanding. This is the photojournalist's first collection of works, sounding the alarm about the lack of adequate support for the atomic bombings more than 15 years after they were dropped, and the fact that the incident was gradually being forgotten, and speaking out with conviction to the nation and the world. Written in both English and Japanese. Signed by the photographer .
