This issue features "Asahi Graph: The Fortress of Sanrizuka, July 24, 1970," a part of Asahi Graph, one of Japan's early weekly graphic magazines, first published by the Asahi Shimbun Company on January 25, 1923. It was a veteran magazine that continued to be published for approximately 77 years until its regular publication ceased with the October 13, 2000, issue. Its defining feature is its "visual newspaper/visualized reporting," with a significant portion of its pages devoted to photographs and illustrations. Using both text and photographs, it has visually documented the turbulent changes in modern and contemporary Japan, including incidents, customs, culture, social conditions, war, postwar reconstruction, high economic growth, and the bubble economy. It has served as a recorder of art, journalism, and society, giving many readers the sense of "seeing the action." This issue features a series of special features on the "Sanrizuka Struggle" against the construction of Narita Airport, featuring approximately 15 pages, including the cover, of images by Kazuo Kitai.
