Black-and-white pictures made in the streets of American cities by the Japanese photographer Tad Wakamatsu. The book draws a portrait of the American way of life in the 1960s at a moment marked by political tension, by war and by segregation, but also by the birth of alternative movements. Wakamatsu was in the United States learning the trade from fashion photographers and portraitists, Richard Avedon, Hiro Wakabayashi and Bert Stern among them, and the book carries a text in Japanese about that apprenticeship.
