Japan's leading photographer Joji Hashiguchi's photo book “Shissou (Signed)”. In the early 80's, he attracted a lot of attention with portraits that looked at young people on the streets of Shinjuku and Kabukicho. Joji Hashiguchi is famous for portraits that capture the depths of their hearts under a specific theme / concept. This book consists of a snapshot of a trip taken in London, Liverpool, Nuremberg, West Berlin and New York in the first half of the 80s. Through shooting in Shinjuku, I became interested in the role of the city that accepts the unpowered raw energy emitted by boys and girls standing in the street corners, and at the same time, the “bad” that protruded from society. Hashiguchi flew away in a big city. Through portraits of young people who suffocate freely in hope of freedom, they will sharply describe their pure heart and the transformation of the city. Hashiguchi then heads back to “Berlin” where he felt the most “freedom” and announced “Would you like to be here (1985)”? Signed .
