Graphically illustrated with reproductions of early photographs by noted Japanese photographers. Influenced by Andy Warhol''s "Index Book," which was published the previous year, this publication is a product of the artists'' collective called The Underground, which served as a powerful force in Japanese photography, and was, perhaps, best personified in the magazine Provoke.

Text jap. - The 3 monumental issues of this Japanese avant-garde publication were published in 1968 (one issue) and 1969 (two issues). Recognized today as a turning point in Japanese photography, "Provoke" was published during a period of national upheaval, when protest and dissension rocked the country. A publication that creatively investigated the relationship between language and art, "Provoke" sought a new, more radical photographic language and was both a highly political and artistic manifesto. The publication brought together some of the most important photographers of the period, including Koji Taki, Takuma Nakahira, Yutaka Takanashi, and Daido Moriyama. It also influenced many more, including Nobuyoshi Araki who said, famously that "it was like a bomb in Japanese photography." Although only three issues were published, the Provoke style continued to find new forms of expression in these photographers'' later books. "Provoke" is wholly a product of its era, representing youth and rage, defiance and the crisis of identity, and a rough, unmediated, blurred aesthetic that rose above the constraints of culture and time.

New York 2009 (ISBN 978-1-59711-094-5). - The public profile of the Japanese photography book has recently boomed, from near-complete obscurity to great desirability. And not only for the aficionados. Photobooks that once were entirely unknown outside Japan (except to a few well-informed scholars and collectors) now sell at astronomical prices at auctions and online. And yet the photobook has been central to the development of Japanese photography, particularly in its postwar phase. To sketch the stages of this boom: 1999's Fotografia Publica included just one Japanese photobook, Kiyoishi Koishi's Early Summer Nerves of 1937, plus two photo magazines from the 1930s, Nippon and Koga; Andrew Roth's The Book of 101 Books (2001) listed four seminal titles by Hosoe, Kawada, Araki and Moriyama; but it was not until 2004, with the first volume of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's indispensable The Photobook: A History, that it began to be clear what a rich body of work awaited excavation. Japanese Photobooks of the 1960s and 70s may be seen as a culmination of this trajectory and, as such, marks a very exciting moment in photo publishing and in the history of photography. It presents 40 definitive publications from the era, piecing together a previously invisible history from some of the most influential works, as well as from forgotten gems, and situating them against the broader historical and sociological backdrop. Each book, beautifully reproduced through numerous spreads, is accompanied by an in-depth explanatory text, and sidebars highlight important editors, designers, themes and periodicals. A superb production, Japanese Photobooks is a landmark celebration of the distinct character and influence of the Japanese photobook.
