Todai Zenkyoto 1968-1969 Photo Document (Kadokawa Sofuia Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The graffiti in Yasuda Auditorium that began "Seek Solidarity, Don't Fear Isolation," the demonstrations and rallies by students with helmets and dust masks covering their faces, the riot police pointing gas guns at them.... The struggle at the University of Tokyo symbolizes "1968" in Japan. A female photographer who had just graduated from a vocational school continued to photograph the days of the struggle, participating in all kinds of activities together with the Tokyo University Zenkyoto. This is the only collection of photographs that documented the "open space" inside the barricades over a long period of time. Includes a contribution by Yoshitaka Yamamoto, representative of GEN and Todai Zenkyoto.
