'Takenokozoku is a book by the photographer Noriko Shibuya, published on this occasion by Area Books. It features various snapshots she took, their sites and circumstances, from a decisively realistic perspective, captured holding nothing back. It brilliantly records and expresses the particular state of urban culture that came about at the beginning of the 1980's through the gathering of young people, and the impact which this radical phenomenon entailed beyond its influence on mere fashion and custom. Noriko Shibuya is truly a photographer, but she is also someone with an outstanding regard for other people.' - Daidō Moriyama
From 1976 to 1982, she became the first female photographer to join the CAMP gallery, one of Japan’s first independent photography galleries, alongside Daido Moriyama and Keizo Kitajima.
'Every weekend from 1979 until 1982 I photographed the Takenokozoku dancing around the pedestrian zone that opened on Sundays in Harajuku.
They were a group of young people wearing brightly coloured outfits who would dance on Olympic Road. With this photobook I hope to convey something of Japan’s sparkling youth during the 1980s.' - Noriko Shibuya
