Kitarubeki Kotoba no Tameni / For a Language to Come.
Tokyo: Fudosha, 1970. First Edition. Quarto. Nakahira was one of the founders of the Provoke movement of Japanese photography and literature. His blurred, distorted, dark, and depressing pictures capture the reality of a postindustrial Japan hurtling out of control. The use of bleeds and double page spreads adds a cinematic freneticism to the work. (Parr / Badger, v1, 292-293; Auer 524). Upper edge of text block lightly bumped, else close to near fine in a very good jacket, rubbed along the edges; distinctive bullet slipcase is lightly soiled, rubbed, and crimped at the opening. A sound, presentable copy of this Provoke masterpiece.
