The Japanese Box presents six publications by a remarkable group of Japanese photographers and writers whose work was a response to a climate of political unrest in Tokyo around 1968. The publication include three issues of Provoke magazine (1968-1969), For a Language to Come by Takuma Nakahira (1970), Sentimental Journey by Nobuyoshi Araki (1971), and a Farewell to Photography by Daido Moriyama (1972).
