A photo collection by Japan's leading photographer, Shunji Momo, titled "Distant Horizon 1968-1977 (With OBI)". Born in 1947, Shunji Momo graduated from the Department of Photography at Kyushu Sangyo University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and has been active mainly in the Kansai region and Osaka. He won the Photographic Society of Japan Award for "Rakudo Kii Peninsula" (1996), the 24th Ina Nobuo Award for "Millennium Rakudo" (1996), and the 27th Higashikawa Award for "Osaka" (2010). He served as the principal of Osaka College of Photography (now Visual Arts College, Osaka) for many years, and is an excellent photographer and educator. This book is composed of photographs taken between 1968 and 1977, and is a collection of works that could be said to be the trajectory (struggles) of Momo's 20s. This book documents a time of social and personal upheaval, when student movements intensified, various struggles unfolded in various regions, pollution problems arose, mines were closed due to energy transition, Okinawa and the US military bases before their return to Japan, and my wife and newborn son. "This is a photo book that exposes and shines a light on the endless thoughts that have been pent up in my heart for 45 years, venting, airing out, and thinking about this and that" (from the obi).
