A collection of works by Kazuo Kitai, Japan's leading photographer after the war. Kitai's initial activities were based on "reportage", recording Yokosuka's struggle against the nuclear submarine port calls, including the privately published photo book "Resistance" (1965), and the struggle against the construction of New Tokyo International (Narita) Airport. "Sanrizuka" (1971) is given as an early masterpiece. However, as Yasuo Higa and Koshira Hira, etc. gradually moved away from the “struggle” in Okinawa and looked back at the “inside” of Okinawa, Kitai also moved away from the “battle” and moved all over Japan. I will leave for you. Therefore, paying attention to the activities of the people in the countryside that are being left behind and forgotten behind, the result of Kitai Phase II's masterpiece “To the Village” is the fruit of the activity as a “writer”. did. This book was published in the era when “To the village” was created, and is based on Urayasu Town in Chiba. Kitai was responsible for both photography and text, and was produced by a request from the village chief in order to leave the good old streets of Urayasu as they are being modernized, lost and forgotten. This is a great book with a wonderful project.
