"Zokushin / Gods of the Earth (Acceptable)" is a photo collection by Hiromi Tsuchida, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. While working as a salaryman, he attended Tokyo College of Photography, where he would later serve as principal. He received advice from Koen Shigemori, one of the founders of the school, that "you should photograph Japanese festivals." Since the 1970s, Hiromi Tsuchida, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers, has produced a prolific body of work centered on "people/crowds." While blurred, out-of-focus, and contrast photography were all the rage in the 1970s, Tsuchida, a rare photographer, has always used his intellectual mind, as an engineering graduate, to consistently pursue clear concepts and themes, striving to capture meaningful "records." This self-published first photo collection is an ambitious work that explores Japan in his early years, delving into the inner workings of his country behind its economic growth. From Aomori in the north to Okinawa in the south, this book exposes the contemporary folklore hidden within, from festivals and events across the country, to the people and lifestyles that inhabit them, through which it explores the meaning of human existence, homogenization and individuality, as well as loneliness, sorrow, joy, and love.
