A reprint of the 1973 volume Shinjuku Guntoden '66-'73. Working as a drifting street portraitist, Watanabe walked into the bars, cabarets, gay clubs and love hotels of Kabukicho offering his services for a two hundred yen fee; the hostesses, bartenders and yakuza who posed for him make up a decade of Shinjuku in portraits.
