Kazuo Kitai etc - Jiyu O warera ni - 1968

A vivid snapshot of Japan's student movement in the late 1960s—composed of the raw voices of those involved and Kazuo Kitai's powerful photographs. “Freedom for Us: Testimonies of the All-Japan Federation of Student Councils” is a documentary-style book centred on the personal accounts of students involved in the All-Japan Federation of Student Councils (Zengakuren). Rather than presenting distant history, it conveys the atmosphere of the time through raw, direct language—anger, doubt, conflict, resolve—capturing the intensity of emotion felt by a generation in turmoil. The cover and opening pages feature photographs by documentary photographer Kazuo Kitai. The book contains photographs from the period, capturing not only the street demonstrations and the tension of confrontation, but also the quiet, human moments in between – faces and expressions that reflect the era on another level. The colophon bears the date 15 June 1969, making this volume an attractive item for collectors of Japanese social history, protest culture, and photobook-related publications. --- Condition --- Signs of wear due to age are visible. Light soiling can be seen on the front edge and top edge of the text block. Faint stains are present on the facing pages. The other internal pages are generally in good condition. Photographs remain clear. There is no impediment to normal use. --- Keywords --- Zengakuren / Kitai / Protest / Photobook / Japan --- Shipping --- The item will be shipped from Japan via trackable Japan Post or DHL. Delivery usually takes around 2 weeks. Import duties, taxes, and fees are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility.
