Japanese photographer Ikko Narahara's photo book "Human Land". In 1956, he made a shocking debut in the solo exhibition "Human Land", which presented the fundamental situation of "Nature and Humans" and "Social Organization vs. Humans" as "Personal Documents". Ikko Narahara has continued to release large-scale works that perfectly combine "intelligence" and "sensitivity". In the 1960s and 1970s, he formed "VIVO" with Shomei Tomatsu, Kikuji Kawada, Eikoh Hosoe and others, and produced many masterpieces. This book is the first publication of "Human Land", which was published only at the exhibition, after 30 years (some of them are also published in other photo books). Narahara, who was studying at Waseda University's graduate school, travels to Kyushu during the spring vacation and stops at Kurokami Village, which is buried in the lava of Sakurajima, and Hashima (Gunkanjima), an artificial charcoal island in the East China Sea. The life of the two islands and their "human life that continues to live in the marginal situation" had a great impact on Narahara, and the two stages became one concept and became a work. It is a masterpiece in the history of Japanese photography that captures the scenery of remote areas and the people who live there with camera work. With obi.
