(Tokyo): West Village Co., Ltd., 1981. First edition. Oblong quarto. Unpaginated. A great book that shows the influence of American culture on the urban life of Japanese people.  . A volume of gritty grainy images from Yoyogi Park in Shibuya. Yoyogi draws all sorts of people, from skaters to horn players to hip-hop dancers to rockabilly gangs, complete with poodle skirts and Elvis-inspired pompadours, who usually gather by the park’s east side entrance on Sundays to jam to American pop music from the ’50s. A very good copy in illustrated wrappers. Rare.
