Japanese photographer Tomoyuki Oka's photo book "Bota (With OBI)". Since the 1970s, the trend of "off magazines" has progressed, and the place for presenting the works of photographers and photographers has changed from "photo magazines" to "gallery" and "photobooks", and in the mid-1970s. From there, the photographer himself launched the Little Gallery, which publishes special exhibitions and photo books. A typical example is "CAMP" by Keizo Kitajima and Daido Moriyama, and one of them is "Photo Gallery PUT", which has been active for about three years since 1976, led by Tomoyuki Oka and Noboru Hama. A considerable number of exhibitions have been held, from solo exhibitions by members to projects linked to other galleries, and the photo magazine "The Present of Vision" (1979) has also been published. This book is composed of plates taken by Oka in the 1970s and 2000s, and was published by the publisher "Photo Park Hayashi" launched by Noboru Hama. It documents after the "coal mine town" such as Chikuho, which prospered in the "coal era" before "petroleum conversion". Instead of the heavy "recorded photographs" that are often found, the landscapes and portraits are interwoven with still lifes and snaps, and the plates and their composition that make you feel the sense and rhythm are truly a collection of works.
