Photographer Noriko Shibuya documents the radical urban subculture of the Takenokozoku in early 1980s Japan. Through a series of uncompromising, realistic snapshots, she captures the energy of youth gatherings in Harajuku, examining the phenomenon's cultural impact beyond mere fashion. This volume serves as a vital historical record of a fleeting social movement, reflecting Shibuya's keen observational eye and her tenure as a pioneering member of the CAMP gallery.
