Description: MINAMATA Words and Photography by W. Eugene Smith Aileen M. Smith Japan NEW Description Condition: New In pursuit of the "truth" of his own experiences, the legendary photographer W. W. Eugene Smith. His book "MINAMATA" is the masterpiece of one of the greatest photojournalists in the history of photography, and is known as his last work. He lived in Minamata Disease, one of the four major pollution incidents that occurred in Japan during the period of high economic growth, for more than three years, and risked his life to cover it with his wife Irene at the time. A timeless document that has been out of print for a long time, approaching the truth of Minamata, is now revived. The picture is only a small voice at best, Occasionally—just occasionally—a photograph, or A set of photographs can awaken our consciousness. If it's mature enough, photography can be controversial. That's why I – and Irene – take pictures in Minamata.
