Japanese photographer Kazuo Kitai's photo book ``One Road (Signed)''. Kazuo Kitai is one of Japan's leading documentary photographers and the winner of the 1st Kimura Ihei Photography Award ("To the Village"). From "struggle" works such as "Resistance" and "Sanrizuka" from the 1960s after the war, to "Rural" series depicting the forgotten original landscape of Japan since the 1970s, as well as urban life, China-related works, etc. He is a photographer who has found the significance of photography in documenting the so-called "everyday world," and has left many works that are intimate, somewhat nostalgic, and deeply profound. This is a collection of works mainly composed of images taken along the Tohoku coast after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Although the villages he visited in the past were washed away by the tsunami, there was indeed a ``road'' here in the past, and new ``roads'' have been created for people living today. This is a documentary that depicts the thoughts of people and their families through the ``roads,'' by overlaying such paths with the ``roads'' that his own family walked since they were born in China and were forced to return home due to defeat in the war.
