Hamaguchi Tarishi (1931-2018) was a news photographer who documented postwar Japanese society. In the turbulent era of the Showa era, he recorded people's lives, social changes, and historical turning points with a keen perspective. His works examine social injustice and contradictions from the perspective of citizens. This exhibition will introduce the historical moments he captured. The photos recording the stone-throwing incident during the Crown Prince's wedding procession reflect the social unrest hidden behind the festive atmosphere. The struggle surrounding the construction of Narita Airport revealed the fierce conflict between national policies and personal lives. In addition, at the scene of the student movement, the enthusiasm of young people under the call for social change and the oncoming power struggle were also engraved by the camera. Hamaguchi's works convey the figures of those who live in the torrent of the times. I hope that through these photos, you can feel the thoughts of people at that moment and take this opportunity to think about the social direction that has continued from the past to the present.
