The Japanese Box

“This box contains republications of some the most provocative and interesting works of Japanese photography from the late 1960s to early 1970s. Though it costs $2000 or more to buy, Berkeley’s  Art/Classics library has it for you to peruse freely along with their excellent collection of Japanese photo books of the period. Working on Experimental Arts in Postwar Japan led me to see how photography is one of the central sites of both art and theory in 1960s Japan, and the final chapter of the book addresses the PROVOKE era in Japanese photography. See the photos for yourself in this box!"
