A photo collection by Japanese photographer Katsuo Kenmochi, "Flashback Photo Reportage: Japan's Drug Scare." Since 1960, Katsuo Kenmochi has been known as a journalist who has pursued drugs for over 40 years in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, under the name of the "Drug Ban Campaign." In order to avoid confidential matters and human rights violations in investigations, he has devised shooting methods and technical ingenuity, and has developed abstract photographic expressions into artistic expressions, fully demonstrating his originality not only in the drug problem but also in "sexual liberation" and "eroticism." Kenmochi has continued to produce unparalleled works in both the "recording" and "creation" of photographs, and this book is a compact collection of works that can be considered a digest version of his many years of drug coverage. Drugs were brought to Japan by American soldiers after the war and caused a nationwide flood. In the 1960s, Japan was mocked as a "drug powerhouse" because the penalties for smugglers and smugglers were light and even if they were arrested, it was only a minor crime. This is a reportage by Kazuo Kenmochi, who wanted to capture this reality and appeal to society.
