After graduating from Chuo University Law School, he majored in art history at Waseda University's graduate school, and since then has devoted himself to avant-garde art, deepening exchanges with many artists, and opening up a photographer's path, Kazuhiro Narahara. Made a striking debut at the 1956 first exhibition "The Land of Humanity" and won the Japan Photo Critics Association New Face Award at the "Kingdom" in 1958. This book is the first work of Narahara who has been a leading force in postwar Japan's photography world with its radical artistic expression, announced in 1967. A personal documentary edited from over 30,000 negatives taken during his three-year stay in Europe from 1962. The author says, "Discovery of Europe, dialogue between the core of Europe and my heart". Many original black and white color illustrations full of "newness" and "surprise" even now. The book design is Kohei Sugiura (cooperation: Machio Katsui), which has been decorated with a new "wireless binding" at that time, and it is a commitment that you can enjoy beautiful illustrations of photos even when the page opens.
