"Coal Mine -Yama-" by Japanese photographer Seiichi Motohashi. Seiichi Motohashi, one of Japan's leading documentary photographers and film maker. Since the 1960s, he has been active as a freelancer, chasing the lives of people living in closed societies such as coal mines, popular performing arts, circuses, slaughterhouses, fish and river markets, and Chernobyl. A photographer who has left many meaningful works that include such social messages. This book is the 1st photo book published in 1968, and won the Sun Prize. A documentary set in the city of coal mines left behind by the postwar economic growth and energy revolution. The city of coal mines and the people who lived there, ruthlessly squeezed and cruelly squeezed for as long as needed, and then miserably abandoned when not needed. A masterpiece of a postwar documentary that portrayed the unknown situation to the world by depicting the daily lives of people who were forced to live a harsh life due to many deaths due to accidents and welfare due to unemployment. We recommend the first edition with gravure printing that creates the atmosphere of the time. First edition, first print.
