The collection spans from the emergence of Japanese rock in the 1960s through approximately 1986, when club music began to enter the cultural landscape. Extending beyond rock and punk to include folk, soul and blues, the selection highlights the diversity of both underground and mainstream music scenes in Japan.Each poster captures not only graphic innovation but also the social atmosphere and cultural energy of its time, revealing moments when music, youth culture and visual expression converged.

It also features a special contribution by the fashion designer at the helm of UNDERCOVER, Jun Takahashi.ISBN 9784991160530. Grand Gallery. pb. 415 pages. 14.6 x 21 cm.available
