A collection of works by Yukichi Watabe (1924-1993), a leading post-war Japanese photographer, "Stakeout Diary (First Edition, roshin Books)". Born in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, he worked as an assistant to Shigeru Tamura after the war before going independent. A photojournalist who was in charge of gravure for literary magazines such as "Chuokoron" and "Bungeishunju", and traveled around Africa, America, Eskimos, and even Europe in the 1960s. Since the 1970s, I have been photographing domestic kagura performances. This book is a book published as a Japanese version of "A Criminal Investigation", a book that became a hot topic in France after a British dealer acquired Watanabe's print in Japan and compiled it as a "work collection" in France. A documentary filmed by a police officer following a murder in the late 1950s. The tense atmosphere of the movie and the scenery of Japan at that time are wonderfully summarized, but this version borrows negatives from Watanabe's son and newly printed and laid out. . Published in 2013, first edition, limited to 1000 copies.
