A group of amateur photographers in Yokote, Akita Prefecture, photo collection of group "Snow," "The four seasons of the earth-Postwar history of rural Akita-". The works by members such as Hisataro Sato, Kosuke Honma (Shuji), Shinichi Sato, Ryosuke Kagaya, Sakai Sabae, Masao Kagaya have been recorded for 30 years after the war. Each seems to have continued to take pictures by the side of work, but it reflects the tastes of rural areas, the lives of farmers, customs and so on. It is also a time when modernization has progressed, and you can see the transition of rural areas, but there are many left-over views of rural areas such as children running on a busy road and horse farming for cultivating fields. While conveying the severity of winter and the harshness of farming work, the lively appearance of farmers is impressive, and the smiling faces of young and old men and women give a feeling of fulfilling rural living. It is a book that records the rustic everyday life of rural areas as well as pastoral landscapes that are different from the journalistic gaze of photographers such as Minami Yoshikazu who made the subject of rural areas in Japan.
