A collection of works by Japanese photographer Makoto Maekawa, “Boat People Vietnamese Refugees in Japan”. Born in Nagoya in 1944, after graduating from Tokyo College of Photography, started activities as a freelance in 1970, and Makoto Maekawa also belonged to the Japanese realism photography group. This book, published in 1978, is a collection of photographs of Vietnamese refugees seeking migration from their homeland to other countries during the war. Boat people are refugees who go to the sea by handmade boats and drift while waving the flag of "SOS" and seek help. At that time, the Japanese government was reluctant to accept refugees, and it was private institutions such as religious groups that accepted the landing people, and the ship that most ignored boat people at sea was the Japanese ship. It has been. A book filled with the thoughts of photographers who appealed to such an absurd reality and insisted that Japan should actively reach out to refugees.
