"From My Town Tamano" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Michihiko Tani (1933-). Born in Kagawa Prefecture and based in Okayama, Michihiko Tani published his work in photography magazines such as "Asahi Camera" and "Camera Mainichi," while also continuing to photograph the landscapes and lives of people around him without ever leaving his hometown. He did not rely on commercial publishing, and instead published many photobooks as private editions, such as "The Wind of Otafu," "My Town Tamano," and "The Town of Corrugated Iron," many of which were not generally distributed and are now rare. This book is a privately published photobook from 1998, set in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, and quietly records the landscapes, streetscapes, and daily lives of people that breathe life into the land. Rather than pursuing glamorous productions or dramatic moments, he meticulously accumulates ordinary scenes that only a photographer living in the region can find, honestly capturing the memories of the land and the flow of time.
