A collection of works by Japanese photographer Takuma Nakahira. In recent years, Nakahira was the "leader of monochrome video depiction" along with Daido Moriyama, who is still active, such as the reprint of the photo douujinshi "Provoke" led by Nakahira. Longing for William Klein, Nakahira continued to chase after Shomei Tomatsu and finally destroyed the work of photography. After that, he became addicted to alcohol due to illness, and although he suffered from memory and speech disorders for a while, he recovered in the 1980s. However, since then, the traditional creative style has changed completely, and the depiction has shifted to a straightforward depiction centered on color. This book is also a collection of tabloid-sized works taken in the 2000s in such colors, and consists of 16 plates. Some people praise the color works of the latter half of Nakahira as professionals, while others find them unsatisfactory compared to the first half. However, what we should be proud of is the motivation and deeds that have always boldly challenged new ways of expression without depending on the traditional style of success.
