This book is a set of 12 volumes from the January to December 1977 issue of the camera magazine "Asahi Camera" + the April special issue "Modern Photographs '77", for a total of 13 volumes. After all, the remarkable movement from the middle to the latter half of the 1970s is the increase in artistic expression by "color photography". In Japan, Shomei Tomatsu presented vivid colors with "The Pencil of the Sun, Okinawa & SEAsia" with the motifs of "Okinawa" and "Southeast Asia", and "William Eggleston's Guide" by Eggleston was published in 1976. Kishin Shinoyama also has masterpieces such as "Sunny Day" and "House". In this magazine, Yutaka Takanashi regularly publishes color series of "Shitamachi" such as "Tsukudajima" and "Shitaya", and in the same year, Asahi Shimbun published a collection of works as "Machi". In addition, Takanichi Hirara, a pioneer of Okinawan photography who has published the legendary photo book "Painukaji", won the 2nd Kimura Ihei Award in the same year. In addition to "Painukaji", Asahi Camera has published Taira's works several times in magazines such as "Born Shimahara", and many valuable works from the time when Taira's name became a national district are also recorded. This is the 1977 series.
