Description from the seller
This volume, titled *Kodomotachi* (Children), is part of the prestigious **Nikon Salon Books** series (No. 2), published in **1976**.
It serves as a comprehensive collection of Domon’s most celebrated theme: the vitality, resilience, and everyday lives of Japanese children during the mid-20th century.
