A collection of works by historian of photography legend Ryuichi Kaneko, who died suddenly in June 2021, "Japan is a country of photo collections." He is a leading researcher in Japanese photography before and after the war, and especially mentions the unique photographic culture of Japan in the 1960s and 1970s after the war. Compared to overseas where the concept of "original print" created the value of photography, Japanese photography culture has an extraordinary commitment to "photobooks", and in particular, the greatness of numerous photobooks born after the war. He was a contributor who "recognized the photo book as the value of the art work". This book is an excerpt of the content that Kaneko serialized in "Publishing News" from 2014 to 2019, but it seems that the content that can be understood as "the value of a Japanese photographer = the value of a photobook" is condensed. It has become. Due to the sudden death due to subarachnoid hemorrhage, this book ended up being a posthumous work. Supervised by Hitoshi Tsukiji, one of Japan's leading photographers, who worked with Kaneko in the latter half of the 1970s on "camera works."
