Japanese photographer Joji Hashiguchi's photo book “Father”. Born in 1949. Following the collection of 17-year-old portraits “Map of the 17-year-old” (1988), which was photographed in every corner of the country from Hokkaido / Rebun Island to Okinawa / Yonaguni Island, Hashiguchi worked on a trip around his father. The second collection of Hashiguchi's field work, followed by “Couple”, was followed by 112 people who took pictures of the whole country from June 1989 to March 1990, along with their personalities. The beginning of the event is the judo artist Yasuhiro Yamashita, and the end of the volume is the musician Kiyoshiro Imano. “The trip to find the dad was also a glimpse of the modern history of Japan,” Hashiguchi says in a postscript, but in spite of the whirl of the bubble economy, it erupts to the region due to changes in industrial structure and depopulation Various problems. Recall from the portraits of fathers in various circumstances what they have lost or forgotten in exchange for richness called consumer society, and look at each of them, rather than looking at them relatively This is a book that gives a keen insight into how society should be.
