This book is the 7th issue of "Photo Criticism" published by Tokyo College of Photography in the early 1970s. The publisher is Koen Shigemori, the founder of our school and a well-known photo critic, and the editor is Kineo Kuwabara. At that time, Shigemori was worried that the climate of photographic criticism itself had not been established, and in addition, the photographic media that aimed at expression was concentrated in photographic magazines such as Camera Mainichi and Asahi Camera, and critics said. It seems that the magazine was launched with the desire to make this magazine function as a place where critics can be developed purely in line with the awareness of the problem, and also as a place where photographers sometimes need to speak in Kodoba. Since it is a criticism magazine, most of it is text, but it is a valuable collection of works that you can study from the whole flow to the maniac part of the trend of photography in the 1970s, especially the collection of works, exhibitions, and photographs by Shigemori and Kuwahara. The texts and dialogues about trends are very readable. In addition, although it is a little in each issue, photographic illustrations are also included, and works by Hiromi Tsuchida, Nobuyoshi Araki, Kikuji Kawada, Katsumi Watanabe, Shomei Tomatsu and others are posted.
