1960年代後半頃から当時の同世代の写真家たちが新宿や渋谷といった若者の熱気でむせ返る都会を撮っていたのに対して、写真家・北井一夫はそうした都市とは距離を置いて、経済成長とともに崩壊に向かっていた日本の村、生活、風景、家族へカメラを向け始めた。本書では1970年代の全国各地(北は北海道から南は沖縄まで)をひたすら歩き撮影した写真と出会った人々とのエピソードも収録。彼の被写体を見つめる暖かい眼差しとは対照的に、1970年代日本が孕む、農業中心の村社会と人間関係の崩壊、古き良き時代の日本の終焉がここには見え隠れしている。
From the latter half of the 1960s, photographers of the same generation at that time were filming cities such as Shinjuku and Shibuya that were turned back by the heat of young people, while photographer Kazuo Kitai kept a distance from such cities and economic growth. At the same time, he began to point his camera at Japanese villages, lifestyles, landscapes, and families that were on the verge of collapse. This book also includes episodes of people who met the photographs taken while walking all over the country in the 1970s (from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south). In contrast to the warm gaze of his subject, the collapse of agricultural-centered village-bonded societies and human relations in the 1970s, and the end of Japan in the good old days can be seen and hidden here.
