'There is No Country for us on this Earth' by All Japan Students’ Photo Association
£895
One of the rarest and most intriguing protest books by a Japanese Student collective, one of several encouraged by Shomei Tomatsu and Kikuji Kawada. Each collective produced extraordinary images, this book focuses on pollution, factories, air pollution, and toxic waste including the lead poisoning that lead to the horrendous Minamata disease.
