This book is a catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition "Postwar Photography and Tohoku" held twice in 1990 and 1992. However, the text is only an introduction, and most of it consists of photographic illustrations. Tohoku is a region visited by many photographers and where many masterpieces were created. This region, where indigenous folk customs and beliefs remain in a harsh but rich natural environment, was also a symbol of the image of Japan's "hometown." Additionally, unlike the city center, which has undergone dramatic changes, it has attracted the attention of many photographers as a place where Japanese traditional features still remain. The first exhibition will feature Ihei Kimura's "Akita," Hiroshi Hamaya's "Ura-Japan," Ichiro Kojima's "Tsugaru/Shimokita," Daido Moriyama's "In Tohoku," and Ryoji Akiyama's "Tsugaru/Ryoji Sensei's Conduct." , Masatoshi Naito's ``Tono Monogatari'' will be featured in the second exhibition, as well as Sumi Sonobe's ``Kitakami River,'' Shin Yanagisawa's ``Tohoku Travelogue,'' Hideko Hosoe's ``Kamaitachi,'' Kazuo Kitai's ``To the Village,'' and Kazumasa Suda. ``Fushikaden'', Hiroshi Oshima's ``Machi of Fortune'', and Teisuke Chiba's ``Akita'' are included.
