This 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, he spent 10 years as an amateur photographer documenting atomic bomb survivors, and in 1960 he received the Special Prize of the Japan Photo Critics Award for his work "Pikadon: A Record of an Atomic Bomb Survivor." After moving to Tokyo, he turned professional and in the 1960s he covered various conflicts that intensified across the country (security treaty, student movements, the Sanrizuka struggle, pollution, etc.), publishing his work in magazines and weekly publications. He is a true photojournalist who, despite being targeted by the public security police for his radical depictions of "anti-establishment and anti-state" sentiments, being ambushed, wiretapped, and even having his house burned down, remained true to his own style. This book is Fukushima's second photo collection, published in 1969 (the first being "Pikadon"), and documents the harsh repression by the establishment against the escalating student movement. "What I was forced to feel, whether I liked it or not, while covering the university protests for over a year was the image of a monster called 'power,' which raised its enormous head and encroached upon the campus." (From the text). Presented with a signature .
