Minamata disease occurred around the Shiranui Sea (Yatsushiro Sea) in Kumamoto Prefecture after 1953. It is also a negative legacy of Japan's period of rapid economic growth, known for the fact that Chisso Corporation discharged its liquid waste into the sea almost untreated. This book is a masterpiece by Fuminari Kuwabara, who has been photographing Minamata for a long time. It is composed of photographs taken from 1960, when Kuwabara first landed in Minamata as a researcher, to the 1980s. History of Pollution Diseases published 30 years after the first patient outbreak.
