Seiji Kurata Title : FLASH UP Street Photo Random Tokyo 1975-1979 / Yakuza / Tatoo

Tokyo: Byakuya Shobo, 1980.

We have not been able to pindown an exact translation, but the note was written at the time of publication and in it Kurata goes to great lengths to thank an unnamed recipient for his support and help.
Gritty black and white images of the dark side of Tokyo life, the death shots reminiscent of a glossy Weegee, with the famous cover picture of a Yakuza, heavily tattooed and brandishing a samurai, on a Shinjuku rooftop. Kurata studied with Daido Moriyama.
