PROVOKE MAGAZINE - COMPLETE REPRINT

The Provoke magazine, founded and overseen by art critic Koji Taki, photographer Takuma Nakahira, poet Takahiko Okada, photographer Yutaka Takanashi, and (for issues 2 & 3) photographer Daido Moriyama, stands as a pivotal force in the global photography landscape. Yet, its individual editions have evolved into elusive treasures, accessible to only a select few photography aficionados.

In a faithful homage to the originals, Japanese publisher Nitesha presents a meticulous facsimile reprint of the seminal trio of issues, preserving their once-derided yet now celebrated "are-bure-boke" aesthetics. These reissues faithfully replicate the dimensions and paper choices of the originals, capturing every image and text, including all contributions by Takahiko Okada. Furthermore, a fourth booklet provides comprehensive English and Chinese translations of the essays and poems from each of the three issues, ensuring broader accessibility and appreciation of Provoke's enduring legacy.
