``1970s NIPPON (Signed)'' is a collection of works by Kazuo Kitai, one of postwar Japan's leading photographers. Kazuo Kitai's most famous works include ``Resistance,'' which depicts the struggles of the 1960s, and ``To the Village,'' which is written about his travels through rural Japan, which has been depopulated in the face of rapid economic growth since the 1970s. Masu. ``To the Village'' has been previously published as a special edition of Asahi Camera in 1976 and by Tankosha in 1980, but this book is based on photographs taken from 1973 to 1981. This is the definitive edition of ``To the Village,'' which was newly selected from 2,545 negatives, and was published under the title ``1970s NIPPON.'' ``Rural labor continues to be absorbed into big cities, and rural depopulation progresses.The 1970s was also the time when the good old days of Japan came to an end, as agricultural-based village society and human relationships collapsed. (Omitted) The places and people in the photographs were the places where ordinary people lived in Japan in the 1970s, but now most of them are lost landscapes and things that no longer exist. Only the photographs remained, like something forgotten by the times.'' (Excerpt from the author's afterword) Signed by the photographer .
