Shudders of Narita Airport

It used to be a peaceful farming village covered in green, with fertile grounds which had taken over a decade to be pioneered. A single cabinet decision launched an explosive battle that would unfold over the following twelve years, between a “National Request” and the farmers protecting their land.

The struggle of Sanrizuka exposed and emphasized the faults of contemporary society. This is a precious photo book that vividly tells the reality of the people fighting to the death to protect their land and their occasional battles.
