Japanese photographer Motohiro Sato presents "Records of People Who Continued to Walk - Anti-War Movement 1968-1974 COPE no. 17." Born in Tokyo in 1948, he enrolled in the Photography Department at Nihon University College of Art in the late 1960s, where he began photographing struggles, student demonstrations, and anti-war movements (such as the Beheiren movement). While still a student, he won the 6th Taiyo Award in 1969. The following year, he self-published his first photo book, "Hello 70 Years - Citizens, Students, and Workers Fight." At the Taiyo Award ceremony, when the then-Dean of Nihon University's College of Art, Kanamaru Shigemine, took the stage to deliver a congratulatory speech, Sato is said to have heckled him, saying, "Get out of the way! I didn't take these photos for you to see." He also went on to say, "(Omitted) That person has no right to see my photographs" (from the text). This is issue 17 of Cope, a mini-magazine that Sato published with his friends in the 1970s. It is a book made up of a series of images taken around the 1970s of the anti-war movement. While the book is mainly comprised of images, it also contains a well-written text in which Sato himself shares his own records and thoughts.
