Very nice book on teddy culture in Japan. A report on part of this youth who revives the rock’n’roll of the 50s through concerts, meetings in the street, clubs. It is also an extraordinary documentation of style and clothing brought up to date. At the start of the 1980s, the return to this American imaginary seemed to affect most Western countries, with bands like the Stray Cats at the top of the bill.
