Description:
This is a rare historical photo documentary booklet published in July 1960 by the National Relief Association of Japan (Nihon Kokumin Kyuenkai). Titled "Koshite Tukurareta Muko no Joyaku" (How an Invalid Treaty Was Made), the publication documents the intense protests, political clashes, and civil demonstrations surrounding the 1960 revision of the US-Japan Security Treaty (Anpo Protests).

Featuring black-and-white photographs captured during frontline demonstrations, parliamentary confrontations, and police actions, this document serves as a significant primary visual source on post-war Japanese social history and political photojournalism.
