After meeting the banker and ethnologist Keizo Shibusawa, Hamaya became particulalry interested in documenting the life of rural people and dwellers of remote regions. The harsh weather and geographical isolation of the inside of the Honshu arc meant that many of its residents still endured the hardscrabble conditions of pre-industrial agrarian life in the 1950s, aspects of which are captured in these photographs. The work on this collection began in 1954..
