Kazuyoshi Kawaguchi’s photobook “Photo Graffiti 1975-1981” was published together with his “Prospects vol. 3”.

The book offers a dive into the past, when Japan – in this case the western part of Honshu, from Kobe to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Himeji, Nagoya, Shinjuku and more – had yet to encounter its formative Bubble and Kawaguchi himself was in his teens and early twenties, still learning but clearly gifted with the talent and the visual ideas to capture city and street scenes in such ways that they still brim with details and life more than 40 years later.
