The regend of Tatsumi Hijikata's photo book by Hosoe Eikou

Hijikata said that the photografies by Hosoe Eikou intoroduced me to the world.
1969, Hosoe Eikou's photo book "KAMAITACHI"were published.
That year was the main days of students power,
I had seen the photo book in the barricade of university campus, I was twenty one years old.
Also I had watched his butoh performance in the university campus next year.
It was so deep shock that my concept of human was completely changed.
I realized that nomal human concept was fake, his butoh dance showed the truth.

When I went back to Japan in this winter, I found the famous photo book of "Kamaitachi"by Hosoe Eikou was republished.
I bought it, then I can show the regend pictures with some other pictures (above) to young visitors of this site.
I appreciate to the photographers who took Hijikata's pictures; Hosoe Eikou, Nakatani Tadao, Onoduka Makoto, and Yamazaki hiroshi.
Thier works remain Hijikata's profile to the present people.
