A cult photobook by Japanese photographer Fumiaki Fukuda, capturing the raw, intensity of Japan’s nightlife at the turn of the 1990s. Fukuda’s photographs are direct and unpolished, often taken at close range, with harsh flash and unstable framing. The aesthetic feels impulsive and physical, echoing the chaos of late-night streets, clubs, love hotels, and encounters. Rather than documenting nightlife as spectacle, Fukuda treats it as a psychological space—a temporary escape where identity loosens and social roles dissolve. The “carnival” of the title suggests a night where norms collapse, desire surfaces, and exhaustion follows pleasure. Youth is portrayed not as as a state of restless intensity, charged with longing and uncertainty. Published by Daisan Shokan, Tokyo, 1979.
