Photo book "Lime Works (With OBI)" by Naoya Hatakeyama, one of Japan's leading photographers. Born in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, Naoya Hatakeyama began photography under the influence of photographer Kiyoji Otsuji while studying at the University of Tsukuba. After graduating from university, he created a series that captures factories, mining sites, and their ruins related to mineral resources such as limestone and coal in various parts of Japan. . Since then, he has traveled overseas and continues to vigorously present works that continue to question the relationships between cities, nature, and humans. This book is one of Hatakeyama's masterpieces, and is the third edition published by Seigensha in 2008 (first edition in 1996, reprinted in 2002). From 1986 to 1994, there are 30 limestone mines, limestone factories, and cement factories from Hokkaido to Okinawa. Japan, which imports a lot of ore, seems to be self-sufficient with only limestone, and this is a book that conveys the negative positive relationship between mines that are scraped away and buildings that continue to stand, along with the geometric beauty of factories. Comes with an obi.
