Japanese photographer Seiji Kurata's photo book "Photo Cabaret / Photo Cabaret (With OBI)". Since the latter half of the 1970s, he has been wandering around the cities of Ikebukuro and Shinjuku, photographing people playing in the entertainment districts and rough street corners at night with intense strobe light. They are violent and provocative, but also have the beauty of chaos, and in the cold and objective gaze, there is human love. It reminds us of Weezy and Diane Arbus, who is famous for portraits of Freaks and others. Kurata is acclaimed worldwide as a photographer who opened a hole in the Japanese photography world after the 1980s, discovering a new frontier in the documentary and photographic arts in the illustrations that depict the diverse interweaving of photographs. Seiji. This book is the 2nd photo book published following the 1st "Flash Up" published in 1980. Kurata, who has lost his excitement, frustration, and desires in the city of Tokyo, traveled to Hokkaido, Kyushu, neighboring prefectures, and overseas to capture snapshots, accompanied by humorous text, and published a weekly information magazine. A unique book with a unique design. The design is Tsunehisa Kimura. Comes with an obi. (Recorded in The Japanese Photobook 1912–1990)
