Harajuku UFO is a striking collection of photographs by Japanese photographer Yuko Nakamura.
In 1974, Nakamura made a life-changing decision: after 17 years with the same company, he left to spend an entire year capturing photographs as a lasting memory of a lifetime. His journey led him to Harajuku, where every image in this book was taken.

At the time, Harajuku was the beating heart of Tokyo’s youth culture and street fashion—a vibrant epicenter where teenagers expressed themselves freely, bursting with energy as they followed trends and forged new ones.
This book is a compelling tribute to a cultural movement and Nakamura’s extraordinary vision.

A super scarce and one of the best ever published photo book
