About Book
今を生きる当事者２人の生活を通して、80年前の事件を見る。
この写真集は、戦中の北海道旭川で美術部の学生だった菱谷良一氏（98歳）と松本五郎氏（99歳）の今の生活、
「テロ等準備罪」が成立した今、当時絵を描いていただけで「治安維持法」に反するとして逮捕されてしまった２人を、「生活」という視点で見つめたこの写真集が何か、現代の私たちの状況や生活を考える材料となるものを写しているのではないか。静かに進んでいくページの中に問いかけを多く含んだ写真集です。
In 1941, students of the art club of Asahikawa Teachers' School were arrested by the Special Higher Police in the "Life Drawing Case". The series looks at the incident that occurred 80 years ago through the lives of two people living in the present.
This collection of photographs carefully depicts the current lives of Ryoichi Hishiya (98 years old) and Goro Matsumoto (99 years old), who were art students in Asahikawa, Hokkaido during the war.
Takahashi's "contemporary" photographs also portray Hiroshi Miyata(82 years old ), who continues to investigate the " Life Drawing Case" in which they were arrested by the Special Higher Police. The book is based on photographs and other materials from the "past" that they kept in their archives.
Now that the "anti-terror conspiracy law" has been enacted in 2017, the photographs of the two men, who were arrested for violating the "Peace Preservation Law" just for drawing daily life scenes, may provide us with something to think about today's situation and life. It is a book of photographs with many questions in the quiet pages.
出所後の1943年2月11日、菱谷良一さんは妹さんの赤い帽子を被り、自画像を描いた。
Since June 2017, I have been visiting Ryoichi Hishiya, now 98, who lives in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, and Goro Matsumoto, now 99, who lives in Otofuke Town, Hokkaido, and have focused my lens on their daily lives. Their everyday life is very peaceful, reading books, watching movies, painting, chatting with friends, and playing with their great-grandchildren.
Both of them belonged to the art club at the same school when they were students, but both of them wanted to become teachers. And then one day, all of a sudden, they were put in prison.
In the early morning of September 20, 1941, Ryoichi Hishiya (19 years old at the time) and Goro Matsumoto (20 years old at the time), and some other students of the art club of Asahikawa Teachers' School, were arrested by the Special Higher Police on suspicion of violating the Peace Preservation Law when they were about to get up in their dormitory. Under the guidance of teacher Masago Kumada (a graduate of Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music, now Tokyo National University of the Arts), the art club at the time was taught to observe the realities of life and society and draw pictures of the actual situation in order to seek a better way of life, rather than following their textbooks. But those paintings were suddenly found to be evidence of the crime for being anti-national and Communistic; the two were not painting with any strong ideology. They eventually ended up in Asahikawa Prison until December 26, 1942. And this is called the " Life Drawing Case".
On February 11, 1943, after his release from prison, Ryoichi Hishiya put on his sister's red hat and painted a self-portrait.
OTakahashi attempts to capture events that can no longer be captured in photographs after nearly eighty years, but through the current state of the people who experienced them. It is a difficult and urgent endeavor, and it raises the question of whether there is something we who can not see the passing of time, should not forget.
Ai Ota (screenwriter/novelist) (from "In response to 'A RED HAT'")
In contrast, to think about the meaning of photographing their peaceful lives now, confronts me with the emphasis on the Life Drawing Case that they were forced to experience at that time in their lives as an unusual event, despite having lived for nearly a century.
