'Takenokozoku is a book by the photographer Shibuya Noriko, published on this occasion by Area Books in Paris. It features various snapshots she took, their sites and circumstances, from a decisively realistic perspective, captured holding nothing back. It brilliantly records and expresses the particular state of urban culture that came about at the beginning of the 1980's through the gathering of young people, and the impact which this radical phenomenon entailed beyond its influence on mere fashion and custom. Noriko Shibuya is truly a photographer, but she is also someone with an outstanding regard for other people.' Daidō Moriyama
