A collection of works by Japanese photographer Ikko Usu (real name: Koichi Usui) "Usu Ikko Photobook Furusato <Tamba> -A Journey to Me-". Born in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture in 1935, he liked nature observation so much that he created his own meteorological department when he was in junior high school, and he dreamed of working at a meteorological station in the future. After graduating, he went to Hyogo to get a job. After that, while attending a correspondence school at night, he changed his career to more than 10 occupations such as apprentices at a fish shop. I started to get interested in it, and since I was 20 years old, I applied for "Album" of Camera Everyday and gained my ability. In the September 1980 issue of Camera Everyday, a solo exhibition was organized under the name of "Furusato". It seems that he was also a member of the light art club in Osaka to which Takeji Iwamiya, Yasushi Sugino, Kimio Aoki and others belonged, but this book is the 1st photo book published by self-funded publication in 1984. It is composed of self-written texts and mental landscapes spelled while visiting my hometown, Tamba. This book is fascinated by the creativity and rich works that are backed by solid technology.
