``Alpha Gallery Vol. 2'' is a collection of works published by the Kansai photo club ``Photo Alpha''. Although the works of over 10 members are included, the association is headed by Hajime Kawai. He was also a member of the Spiegel Photographers Association, which was founded in 1952 mainly by former members of the Tanpei Photo Club. However, he retired from Der Spiegel in the 1970s due to problems such as deterioration of his eyesight. In addition, his store was completely destroyed in the Great Hanshin Earthquake, and his life was full of ups and downs, which is why he called himself a ``hangpamono'' even before he died. However, in the 1970s, he also published ``The Man'', a collection of photo poems composed of artistic illustrations with a touch of surrealism, which was the only privately published collection of his works, and was said to have an outstanding taste and photographic technique. It is imagined. This book includes many avant-garde works by photographers with roots in Kansai, including Kawai.
