Sanrizuka toride no kodomotachi [The children of Fortress Sanrizuka].

£450 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A fascinating series of booklets that describes the lives of children during the fighting against the construction against Narita Airport which lasted from 1966 to 1971. Most of the text is a compilation of the opinions and feelings of the farmer’s children themselves. Every child is named and their age ranges from 5 to 15. They were organised as the Sanrizuka and Shibayama Youth Action Group. Includes photographs by Kitai Kazuo, Fukushima Kikujiro, and the 491 Group.
