Chizu (signed)
by Kikuji Kawada
Photographs: Kikuji Kawada
Text: Kenzaburo Oe & Kikuji Kawada
Publisher: Akio Nagasawa Publishing
190 pages
Year: 2014
Comments: Limited Edition: 600/ signed & numbered, housed in a specially-made box; texts: Kenzaburo Oe “Map” and Kikuji Kawada “On the re-reprint of ‘Chizu’”, 150×225mm, hardcover. New copy.
The original 1965 edition of “Chizu” is a legendary photography book that is virtually impossible to catch sight of today.
While relentlessly tracking the “stains” scattered across walls and ceiling of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial,
Kawada projects memories of the war through young soldiers’ portraits and letters, ruined fortresses, etc.
At the same time, his pictures of iron scraps at factories, Lucky Strike boxes brought in by occupation forces,
dumped Coca-Cola bottles, and other indicators of recovery after the war, document the process of overall transformation in postwar Japan.
This long-awaited new edition of “Chizu”, renowned as one of the most experimental Japanese photography books, is a
complete reprint adopting Kohei Sugiura’s original peculiar design with all photos as double-page spreads.
