A collection of works by Hitomi Watanabe, one of Japan's leading female photographers after the war, "Tekiya". Starting with "Shinjuku Contemporary", a collection of monochrome works shot in Shinjuku, which was the stage of the culture movement in the 1960s, "Zenkyoto", which depicts the student-barricade struggle in the latter half of the 1960s, and the stage in India. Hitomi Watanabe's representative works include "Tenjiku", which was made into a barricade, and "Saru Nenki", which has a monkey motif. This is also composed of illustrations taken in the latter half of the 1960s, but it was finally compiled as a collection of works after nearly 50 years. The motif is "fragrance master", so-called "Tekiya". Watanabe, who saw a crowd of wild heat and madness when he went out to take a fair, turned into a Tekiya street photographer and went to shrines and temples in Tokyo. I went to the fair and took a photograph of the fragrance master. This book is full of Showa Japanese culture, which is rarely seen now. (How We See Photobooks by Women)
