"1970s NIPPON" by Kazuo Kitai, one of Japan's leading post-war photographers. Kazuo Kitai's masterpieces include "Resistance," which depicts the struggle in the 1960s, and "To the village," which was traveled to and spelled out in the depopulated Japanese countryside of the high economic growth since the 1970s. I will. "Murahe" has been published so far as an extra edition of Asahi Camera in 1976, and one published by Tankosha in 1980, but this book was taken between 1973 and 1981. The title was changed to "1970s NIPPON" as the definitive edition of "To the Village", which was newly selected from 2,545 negatives. “Rural labor force continues to be absorbed by large cities, and rural depopulation continues. The 1970s were also the days when the good old days of Japan ended, as the agricultural-based village society and human relationships collapsed. (Omitted) The places in the photographs and the landscapes of people used to be places of ordinary life for ordinary people in Japan in the 1970s, but most of them are now lost landscapes and objects that do not exist. Then, only the photo remained like a forgotten thing of the times” (excerpt from the author's postscript).
