-Description-
Title Mothers and Children Fight against Polio
Japanese Title Shonimahi to Tatakau Haha to Ko
Publication Year 1961

In the fpreward to this book,Ken Dmono recommends this book as follows"It has been some decades since I knew an amateur photographer, called Matsujiro Kawamata. During that time, I was a judge of monthly photografic magagine "CAMERA". He applied from Hokkaido every month. I was impressed not because his pictures are fine, but he is enthsiastic. His home run then was "Embankment" chosen the highest prise of March 1955 issue. It was a photograph showing the sad seriousness of a goat, tied on a river bank, was eating grass, within the circle of the rope. It was a impressibe photograph hit the heart of observers. White image of the goat appeared in the half tone grass on a bank still remain in my memory.

"Hiroshima", "Children of Chikuhoo Coal Mine ", "Father of Rumi-chan Died" . There is not doubt that Mr. Kawamata was influenced by those 3 picture books of mine. I regret that I must not deal with this kind of jobs, though I myself published the 3 photographic books from the unavoidable feeling in those social conditions. I could not secure the cost of photos. Whenever I work hard, I become poor. Furthurmore, Mr. Kawamata is only an amateur cameraman. He might be bankrupted. And he is a public servant. For the worst case, he might fail in his job and might be fired.

At any rate, please watch it with kindness. The issue that Mr. Kawamata showed enthsiastically is going to reach the future happiness for all the Japanese children. Mr. Kawamata does not have children after the marriage life more than 10 years. The hearty appeal from a childless couple is here. "
