This book is a photo book of the "sea" published by the Japan Maritime Public Relations Association in 1971. According to the afterword, the purpose of the publication is "to create a photo book that develops a new image of the sea, the mother of maritime affairs." It was carefully selected from those submitted from all over the country through the "Sea Photo Competition," those collected by requesting major photo agencies, and those directly requested from photographers, and was edited by Shinichi Tsuda, who was active as a photo critic in the 1970s. In addition, Koichi Inagoshi, who had just turned from a graphic designer to a freelance photographer, was in charge of the binding, making it different from "so-called sea landscape photo books." The photographers featured in the book include Inagoshi, Shinpei Asai, Tetsuya Ichimura, Kazumi Kurigami, Kaihiko Konishi, Yoshikazu Shirakawa, Hisato Takada, Naganori Tanaka, Shigeru Tamura, Shomei Tomatsu, Takuma Nakahira, Yoichi Midorikawa, Daido Moriyama, Toyohiko Yasui, and Shin Yanagisawa. The creative direction of the "photo series" is also interesting, and the direction of this book can be seen in the "extreme" combination of the coloring by Inagoshi at the top and the coloring by Tomatsu at the end.
