This book is a set of all three issues of the quarterly magazine "KEN" published by the office "Shaken" of Shomei Tomatsu, a photographer representing Japan after the war from 1970 to 1971. "KEN" seems to have various meanings, but there is also a description that "for those of us who are obsessed with'seeing', it is'seeing'", which is an opportunity to create photographs and art. It is a rare quarterly magazine that composes various events from the perspectives of various people by interweaving characters, photographs, and illustrations. Since it was first published in the year of the Osaka Expo, it contains a lot of anti-political and anti-social content, and it has a strong reading element, but the cover and illustrations are taken by Higashimatsu. It is a work that is spectacular and readable, such as the illustrations by Nobuyoshi Araki, Daido Moriyama, and Masahisa Fukase. The publisher will be Shomei Tomatsu, but the editing has changed every issue with Yoshio Sawano (No. 1), Masatoshi Naito (No. 2), Tsunehisa Kimura (No. 3), and each has a different industry and age. The difference in editing is also interesting.
