A collection of works by Japanese photographer Shigeru Maekawa “Living in the Pioneer”. Maekawa Shigeru, who was born in Ozawa Village (now Kyowacho Ozawa) in Hokkaido in 1930, was born as a so-called 'pioneer farmer', and his father seemed to have struggled with Meiji pioneering, but there is no record of that. I feel uncomfortable. He himself started working as a amateur after the war while working for the post office (due to his father's plan), and in 1948, he started photographing the reclaimed land in Ozawa. Since 1960, he has started monthly applications such as “Photo Art”, has often been featured in camera magazines such as “Asahi Camera”, “Camera Every Day”, “Camera Art”, and opened a solo exhibition at the Nikon Salon in Ginza in 1969. Maekawa, who has steadily acquired the ability as a photographer, has continued to shoot for a long time in order to appeal for the “development facts” in the region, where neither fertility can be expected nor dreams or hopes for the future. This book was published in 1982. In the barren area, people who have been struggling and struggling and their lives have been filmed for about 28 years, and about 3000 copies and 100,000 cuts are stored in the camera.
