Photobook scans online are exceedingly rare, especially material of Japanese photographers. Older books often had only one printing run and the people who buy this stuff are the kind to hold onto it until they're 6 feet under. It's typical to see 70's photobooks reaching unattainable prices never to be scanned.

The videos of protest towers being demolished by police cranes in Sanrizuka was in 1990. Yokota airbase was subjected to improvised mortar attacks into the 2010's. Difficult to call issues and sentiments that are buried.
