This book is a collection of photographs of the "sea" published by the Japan Maritime Public Relations Association in 1971. According to the postscript, it seems that the purpose of the publication is "a photo book that develops a new image of the sea, which is the mother's womb of maritime affairs". It is carefully selected from the ones collected and those requested directly from the photographer, and is edited by Shinichi Tsuda, who was active as a photo critic in the 1970s. In addition, Koichi Inakoshi, who has just turned from a graphic designer to a freelance photographer, is in charge of the book design, which sets him apart from the so-called "landscape photobook of the sea." The photographers featured are Inakoshi, Shinpei Asai, Tetsuya Ichimura, Kazumi Kurigami, Umihiko Konishi, Yoshito Shirakawa, Hisato Takarada, Naganori Tanaka, Shigeru Tamura, Shomei Tomatsu, Takuma Nakahira, Yoichi Midorikawa, Gorgeous people such as Daido Moriyama, Toyohiko Yasui, and Shin Yanagisawa. The production of the ingenious "group photo" is also interesting, and the direction of this book can be glimpsed in the place where the color by Inagoshimachi at the top and the color by Higashimatsu at the end are "extreme".
