"Reports from the Battlefield: Sanrizuka 1969-1977 (Signed)" is a photo collection by Kikujiro Fukushima, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. While running a watch shop in his hometown of Yamaguchi Prefecture, Fukushima, as an amateur photographer, shot documentaries about atomic bomb survivors, capturing the public's attention with his documentary, "Pikadon (1961)." After turning 40, he divorced and moved to Tokyo with his three children. While pursuing issues such as intensifying protests across the country, he began to question state and government oppression, and since then has focused his life's work on social issues such as student activism, politics, military affairs, pollution, and welfare. His radical portrayals of "anti-establishment" and "anti-national" issues drew the attention of the public security police, resulting in ambushes, wiretapping, and even house burnings, but he has remained true to his style as a true photojournalist. This book documents the Sanrizuka area, a place that was closely followed by photojournalists such as Kazuo Kitai, Takashi Hamaguchi, and Masao Mitome, and is documented over a period of approximately 11 years. During the Sanrizuka struggle, a total of 500,000 riot police were mobilized, resulting in 7,000 deaths and injuries and over 2,500 arrests. Comes with a dust jacket and is signed by the photographer .
