"Snow Country Folklore (Reprint)" co-authored by Kunio Yanagita, a Japanese folklore scholar, and Shigeru Miki, who was active as a cinematographer and producer. Yanagida is famous as a scholar representing Japanese folklore such as "Tono Monogatari", but Miki is also a photographer known as a pioneer of Japanese documentary films. This book is a collection of works that recorded the life of the Oga region in Akita prefecture over the year from 1940 to 1941. It is divided into chapters such as "People living in the soil", "Rural Saijiki", "Clothing, food, housing and folk implements", "Faith, Majinahi, etc." We record every detail of our daily lives. The photo was taken by Miki during the filming of the documentary film "Living in the Earth" in the region. He emphasizes the aspects of film materials and records that are neither news photographs nor fine-art photographs, but portraits of farmers and casual snaps are everywhere with a writer-like taste. This book is known not only for the folkloric meaning of prewar Japanese life, but also for the photographer Shigeru Miki. Published and reprinted in 1977. Comes with a case.
