Japanese photographer Kiyoshi Fujikawa's photo book ``Photo Record Buraku''. Kiyoshi Fujikawa was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1930 and worked as a news photographer for a long time after graduating from a photography school in Tokyo. He is famous for his works including poster photographs of the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics, as well as works that include Japanese pottery, ceramics, and crafts, but it was the ``buraku issue'' that made photographer Kiyoshi Fujikawa famous. He documented the Buraku issue, which had long been considered taboo due to human rights issues, and was named a newcomer to the Japan Photo Critics Association for his 1960 publication ``Buraku'' jointly with Takashi Tojo, a leading expert on Buraku issues. Award-winning. This book contains the illustrations that he has continued to take as his life's work for nearly 30 years since then, and is a book published in collaboration with Takashi Tojo, which depicts the current situation of the buraku, which remains unchanged even as it changes. A collection of miraculous records of two brave journalists who dreamed of completely eliminating Buraku discrimination in the 21st century.
