Document Miseinen by Mikio Tobara offers a stark and unfiltered look at youth culture in post-war Tokyo. Printed in gravure and divided into three sections, the book captures scenes of street life, sex work, and the rise of the bosozoku motorcycle gangs. Released during a period of rapid economic and cultural change in Japan, it stands as a key document of a generation navigating shifting values and social fragmentation. As part of the Seven Mook series, it remains a culturally significant photobook for its uncompromising portrayal of marginalised youth and the tensions of the era.
