Photo collection by Japanese photographer Jin Sato "Action Portrait 'GIG' Tokyo Rockers 1978~1986 (With Born in Sendai in 1940, Sato dropped out of photography school and studied under New York rock photographer Bob Gruen. He made a name for himself in his 30s photographing the music scene, and from his 40s onward, he produced contemporary art, dance-related works, and urban landscapes. In recent years, following the devastating damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in his hometown of Sendai, he has photographed the tsunami-hit areas along the Pacific coastline, exhibiting them in solo exhibitions. This book, published in 1986, is Sato's masterpiece and a masterpiece of indie photography. The "Tokyo Rockers" movement in the late 1970s broadly defined a series of rock culture movements in which underground artists actively promoted themselves, played gigs, and produced and sold their own records. This book includes portraits of dozens of indie bands, including Hanatarash, Keiji Haino, and Friction, as well as music scenes and behind-the-scenes shots. A booklet is included.
