The shape and size of an LP-cover, this is the first book by Japanese photographer Kazuo Kitai, documenting student protests in the early 1960s.

Interestingly, several blurred and grainy pictures would seem to presage the work of the Provoke photographers. According to Kitai, both Daido Moriyama and Takuma Nakahira - the founders of Provoke - were huge admirers of the book. Moriyama in fact instructed his students to buy this book.
