At the end of Wataru Takada’s gaze-Photo pond 1972-1979- Takada on Takada

Introduction (from the publisher)
This book is a photo book featuring a camera by folk singer Wataru Takada and taking a picture taken.He loved alcohol and music, and he always carried a camera on tours and travel, and said he had a time when he was seriously as a photographer.
This time, a huge number of films left by Wataru Takada was found, and when I scanned each one, I found that I was a young day (Haruomi Hosono, Eiichi Otaki, Takashi Matsumoto, Shigeru Suzuki), Yosui Inoue, Kenji Endo.Masato Tomobe, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takashi Nishioka, Shigeru Izumiya, Isato Nakagawa, Goro Nakagawa, Honey, Kinichi Mikami, Kenichi Nagira, Shiva, Ryo Kagawa, Kyozo Nishioka, and Musashino Tampo Corps (more than the order)Many photos of their friends were excavated.The nervous backstage and the harmonious off -shots are just historic cuts that will be released in Japan for the first time.
In addition, the casual photos taken on Kyoto, Kichijoji, and other locations on tours in the 1970s, Kichijoji, and traveling in Europe such as Paris and Madrid seemed to have taken the worldview that Wataru Takada as it is.Each one has the same deep and delicate songs of the conflict of society, and appeals to us.
In addition, April 16, 2021, the release date of this book, is strangely the 17th anniversary of Wataru Takada (16 years).It is surely pleased that the photos you have taken will appear as a single work, but also to meet your old friends in the photo book like this.
The explanation in the photo is Ren Takada, the eldest son of Wataru Takada, who is active in various fields as a multi -stringed instrument player.The important thing that was in front of Takada Watari’s gaze, who was also a rare poet, will surely be transmitted from this photo book.
