Published in 1979 by Daisan Shokan, Bosozoku Rettō ’80 Part I is a seminal photographic and documentary work by Akira Kitagawa that captures the raw energy of Japan’s bosozoku motorcycle gangs at the end of the 1970s. The term Rettō (archipelago) underscores the nationwide scope of the movement, presenting bosozoku not as a localized trend but as a widespread youth phenomenon spanning Japan’s urban and suburban landscapes.
