Document Miseinen or Document Teenager depicts the life of Tokyo teenagers in the 1970's. Shot by Mikio Tobara the book is divided into three sections, the first two focus controversially on teenage sex, prostitution and smoking whilst the third looks to bosozoku, a Japanese subculture interested in motorbikes. Printed in rich gravure the contentious snapshots reveal the curious first experiences and self destructive nature of many young adults.
