Photo book "Map of 17 years old" by Japanese photographer Joji Hashiguchi. Hashiguchi, born in 1949 and publishing a large collection of portrait works shot under a specific theme, reflects the human heart and dignity through the portraits of people, and the society behind it through portraits. I am recording. This book is a collection of 17-year-old portraits taken from all over Japan from Rebun Island, Hokkaido to Yonaguni Island, Okinawa. The title reminds me of Yutaka Ozaki, but he captures young people from the subtle age of being neither adults nor children (afterword) head on. Many of them are students, but some are working, others are housewives, and their circumstances and lifestyles vary, and the accompanying personality text complements the image in the photo. "Is it possible to highlight the differences between Japan's 17-year-olds, and at the same time, try to make the current Japan visible? That's why I started this work" (afterword).
