"Portraits of Young Japanese" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Masayuki Yoshinaga. Yoshinaga has been documenting Japanese youth culture since the 1990s, and is known for his work focusing on group portraits. Images of young people dressed in street fashion, taken on street corners and at event venues, vividly capture the atmosphere of the times. This book features numerous group photographs of young people taken mainly in Tokyo in the 1990s. The compositions, which intertwine solidarity with peers, strong self-expression, and vulnerable moments, are both documentary and staged. The individuality and tension exuded by each group reflect the diversity of Japanese youth culture and the social structure behind it. This book can now be considered a valuable cultural testimony.
