"Japan in the 1960s and early 70s marks a highpoint in the history of the photobook ... The iconoclastic photo-magazine Provoke had a vital influence on Japanese photography and the Japanese photobook. It was an influence, one might contend, that was out of all proportion to the mere three issues published during its short, hectic existence at the end of the 1960s." (The Photobook).
