This book is the photo magazine "Camera Jidai December 1966" published by Shashin Dojinsha in the mid-1960s. Its predecessor was "Photo Contest", which was launched in 1955. Shashin Dojinsha is famous for publishing Tomatsu Shomei's first book "11:02 Nagasaki", but the company went bankrupt the following year, and this magazine probably hasn't been published since 1967. In 1966, the magazine featured works by cutting-edge photographers of the time, including Narahara Ikko (January), Nagano Shigekazu (February), Hosoe Eikoh (March), Sato Akira (April), Imai Hisae (May), Takanashi Yutaka (June), Tomatsu Shomei (July), Ishimoto Yasuhiro (August), Yokosuka Noriaki (September), and Kawada Kikuji (October). This issue focuses on three photographers, Okamura Akihiko, Kuwahara Fuminari, and Hide Shinzo, under the title "Collection of Three Frontline Photojournalists." The magazine contains illustrations and essays over a little under 40 pages, and other works such as Kurahara Teruhito's "Biosphere," Tanaka Chotoku's "For Peace" when he was young, Shimauchi Yoshiyasu's "House in the Mountains," and the symposium "Japan 1966" (edited by Wada Tsutomu) are also excellent, and the photogravure printing is also appealing.
