Hirokazu Ishida was born in 1943 in Beijing. In 1964 he graduated from the Tokyo Photography College, followed by an apprenticeship with Nagano Shigeichi. The present is his first book publication : Ishida visited India several times between 1967 and 1970 and the present is a strong, sombre, and painful record of life and death in India. Much of the book focuses on the abject poverty. The style of the images is reminiscent of Tomatsu's work in Afghanistan (Saramu Areikomu, Shaken 1968)
