Otenki (Signed) is a collection of works by Kazuo Kitai, one of the leading photographers in postwar Japan. Kitai has published many collections of works based on documentaries, with motifs such as "struggle," "countryside," "nature," "lifestyle," and sometimes "China," but this one was created over several years in the 1990s. This is a collection of works mainly featuring photographed insects and small animals. In ``To the Village'' and other scenes, Kitai was always nervous while taking pictures of the subjects, thinking about what they would think, but now he has started photographing insects and insects with a more casual and fun attitude. It seems that if you show too much emotion, the insects will think it's murderous and run away, so he purposely took photos lightly. The purposeful title of the book is ``Otenki,'' and since I didn't want it to be like an illustrated book, the book is compiled like a travelogue with Kitai's own writings.
