"Small Lives: Photo Document - Their Death and Life," a photobook by Kazuo Kenmochi, one of Japan's leading photographers. In the world of Japanese photography of the 1960s and 70s, which enjoyed worldwide popularity, mainly among graduates of VIVO, PROVOKE, and CAMP, the presence of this unique man should not be forgotten. Kazuo Kenmochi. In an effort to put a stop to the "drug vortex" that spread among American soldiers after Japan's defeat in the war, he continued to publish reportage for over 40 years in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the National Police Agency, calling it the "Drug Eradication Campaign." Furthermore, in order to avoid the confidentiality of drug investigations and human rights violations, he mastered the abstraction of photographic expression by devising shooting techniques and utilizing mechanisms, and using these techniques to find a unique worldview in the artistic expression of "sex" and "eros," he was a rare photographer who was active not only as a journalist but also as an artist. This book is mainly composed of images of fetuses, which are not well known, in an effort to put a stop to artificial abortion. Fetuses are being lost one after another for the convenience of adults. This is Kenmochi's ambitious work, in which he hopes to re-examine people's understanding of "life" and "death" through illustrations of these characters who have already begun to live with their own will.
