Special Exhibition "People who lived in the Hitachi Mine: 'Closure of the Mine', afterwards and today as captured by photographer Toshihiro Nakaikawa ・" (Japanese only)

This exhibition attempts to express the "spirit of the mine" of the people who lived in the Hitachi Mine through an exhibition of photographs taken by photographer ・ Toshihiro Nakaikawa of the mine, during and after its closure, and to the present day.
After the opening of the Hitachi Mine in 1905 （, Hitachi City became a major mining and industrial city during the Taisho and Showa periods. The Hitachi Mine overcame the damage of the Pacific War and continued copper mining ・ and smelting as one of the leading mines in Japan as Hitachi City achieved further growth during the period of rapid postwar economic growth. The mine closed in 1981 （ Showa 56 ）, bringing an end to its 76-year history.

Toshihiro Nakagawa, born in Hitachi City in 1960, decided to photograph the closing of the Hitachi Mine as his graduation project at university. Those who lived and worked with the mine for three or four generations of parents and children lived and worked at the main mine and left the mine （ with the hope of continuing to work ）. Some took up other occupations, some sought work in other mines, and some went to the mines in Zaire.

This exhibition attempts to express a kind of "mining spirit" of the people who lived in the Hitachi Mine by showing photographs taken by photographer ・ Toshihiro Nakaikawa of the mine, after its closure, and today.
