Niihama City, Saijo City and Shikokuchuo City, which are the subject of this book, are located in the eastern part of Toyo district in Ehime Prefecture. They belonged to Nii county, Shuwa county and Uma county in ancient times, and they almost overlap with the area where Hitotsuyanagi Naomori was placed as a feudal lord of 68600 koku in Kanei 13 year (1636).
This book is divided into 9 chapters and contains over 600 photos which record the familiar life of Niihama City, Saijo City and Shikokuchuo City in the Showa period and the brave festival with Taikodai. Each photo is carefully explained so that it becomes a photo album where you can trace the appearance of the area which changed from before and after World War II every time you turn the page. Each chapter contains "Saijo laver", "Time when there was a mine", "Town of Paper", "Reiho Ishizuchiyama", etc. which are unique to this area. Also, each chapter contains valuable photos of Japan National Railways Yosan Line which opened on the eve of Showa as a photo column.
