Japanese photographer Kazuo Kitai's photo book "The Legend of Heroes Antonio Inoki". Kazuo Kitai, the winner of the 1st Kimura Ihei Photography Award ("Mura e"), is one of Japan's leading documentary photographers. From the "struggle" works represented by "Resistance" and "Sanrizuka" in the 1960s after the war, to the "Countryside" series depicting the forgotten landscape of Japan since the 1970s, urban life, China-related, etc. , is a photographer who has found the significance of photography in recording the so-called "everyday world" and has left many intimate, somewhat nostalgic, and extremely profound works. This is a photo collection of Antonio Inoki, a professional wrestler who sadly passed away in October 2022 and was also active as a politician. From January 1982, over a period of nearly a year, I accompanied Inoki as he flew around Japan and overseas, and recorded on-off shots that continued to be photographed. Reprint.
