About
Yutaka Takanashi belonged to the small group of photographers who launched the magazine Provoke in 1968/69. He was one of the founding members of this group with Takuma Nakahira, Kôji Taki, and Takahiko Okada. Daidô Moriyama joined the group during the production of the 2nd issue.
Within the group, Takanashi was able to find a new theoretical approach and its visual language. The influence of the magazine on the photographic scene in Japan was immense. Nobuyoshi Araki described Provoke in retrospect as the trigger of an explosion in Japanese photography. In the following years the Provoke photographers produced major works in terms of photographic history, whereby Yutaka Takanashi defined the high point as well as the end of this era with the publication of his first book, Toshi-e (Towards the City), in 1974.
This photobook, Yutaka Takanashi, Photography 1965–74, presents a representative cross-section of these two pioneering photographic series in 35 full-page illustrations and 6 foldouts. An extensive biography, list of exhibitions and a bibliography round off this publication. The book won the 1st price as the photo book of the year in Arles. The limited edition of 500 has been published with three different covers.
