"Distant Horizons 1968-1977" is a photo collection by one of Japan's leading photographers, Shunji Momo. Born in 1947, Shunji Momo graduated from the Department of Photography at Kyushu Sangyo University's Faculty of Arts and has been active mainly in the Kansai region and Osaka. He won the Photographic Society of Japan Award for "Rakudo Kii Peninsula" (1996), the 24th Ina Nobuo Award for "Millennium Rakudo" (1996), and the 27th Higashikawa Award for "Osaka" (2010). He served as the principal of Osaka College of Photography (now Visual Arts College, Osaka) for many years, and is an excellent photographer and educator. This book is composed of photographs taken between 1968 and 1977, and is a collection of works that could be said to be the trajectory (struggles) of Momo's 20s. This book documents an era of social and personal upheaval, with intensifying student movements, various struggles unfolding all over the country, pollution problems arising, mines being closed due to energy transition, Okinawa and US military bases before their return to Japan, and my wife and newborn son. "This is a photo book that exposes and shines a light on the endless thoughts that have been pent up in my heart for 45 years, venting, airing out, and thinking about this and that" (from the obi).
