'Those who have dressed up
in a good disguise have undressed,
that is how they look on the inside.'

Ernest Bloch

     Photographs of Japanese (mostly young girls) who dress in outlandish self-created styles and hang out in places like the Harajuku and Shibuya districts of Tokyo. Rebels in a non-rebelious society. Slaves to their own trends.
    Australian engineer and avid photographer, Guy Vinciguerra, visits Tokyo with his camera and a sense for dramatic photos with sharp colors. The result becomes an exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and this fine and disquieting book.
    One or two photos on most pages. This is not the Japan of modern industry or of sun-blackened farmers raising rice. But this is at least as real.
