Released as part of Tatsumi’s cult MOOK series, this volume reflects the peak of Japan’s early-’80s fascination with street imagery, tabloid voyeurism, and the blurred line between journalism and spectacle.
Tatsumi’s photographers captured scenes of everyday life through the lens of media sensationalism — raw, chaotic, and unapologetically tied to the era’s obsession with surveillance and hidden cameras.

A surviving example of the “visual tabloid” aesthetic that defined a short-lived but revealing chapter of Japanese mass culture.
