A collection of works by Japanese photographer Hirokazu Ishida "The Village Story ". While attending Tokyo Polytechnic University (currently Tokyo Polytechnic University), he met Shigeichi Nagano, a leading photojournalist, for two years by going in and out of the editorial department of "Camera Mainichi". After working as an assistant, he became a freelancer at the age of 22. After that, he released "Brahmin and Janta -India-" (1971), which was shot in India in the latter half of the 1960s, as the first book, and in 1973, released the second book "Photobook Buraku". This book is a revised and refurbished book, which is composed of illustrations taken in the mountain village "Akka Motomura" in Iwate Prefecture, which was visited between 1963 and nearly 10 years. Located at the northernmost tip of the Kitakami Mountains, it is a small settlement that was once called "Tibet in Japan". In 1963, in a remote area where neither electricity nor buses were available, this documentary was directed by Ishida, who built a relationship of trust while living with people who lived on their own. Limited to 700 copies.
