A large number of unpublished black-and-white prints were discovered during preparations for the exhibition "Takuma Nakahira: Return to His Roots - Yokohama," held at the Yokohama Museum of Art in 2003.
Many of these photographs, some of which were exhibited at the exhibition, were taken in the Yokohama suburbs where Nakahira lived, and are thought to have been taken between 1978 and the late 1980s.
At the time, Nakahira would walk around his neighborhood or ride his bike, take photos, and then print them himself every day at sunrise.
From that vast collection of prints, this book selects only those "photos that feature cars" or "photos that also feature cars," and binds them into a huge number of pages.
This photo book attempts to understand Takuma Nakahira, perhaps one of the most unique photographers/critics in the world, not through words, but through photographs.

About the Author
Takuma Nakahira

Born in 1938. After graduating from the Department of Spanish Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, he worked as an editor for the general magazine Gendai no Me (Modern Eyes), before starting to take photographs in the mid-1960s and writing about photography and film at the same time. In 1968-69, he published the photography fanzine Provoke, billed as "provocative material for thought," along with Koji Taki, Yutaka Takanashi, Takahiko Okada, and Daido Moriyama. After publishing the photo book For the Coming Words in 1970, he critically examined his previous work in the video theory collection Why Botanical Encyclopedia (Why Botanical Encyclopedia?) in 1973. Shortly after publishing Duel Photography Theory, co-authored with Kishin Shinoyama in 1977, he fell ill and lost most of his memory, wandering between life and death. He resumed his work as a photographer the following year, publishing the photo books A New Gaze (1983) and Adieu à X (1989). In 2003, his first retrospective, "Takuma Nakahira: Return to the Basics - Yokohama" (Yokohama Museum of Art), was held, once again drawing great attention. Since then, he has held solo exhibitions of new works and participated in group exhibitions both in Japan and abroad. In 2012, he published "Circulation - Date, Place, Action," and the following year held a solo exhibition of the same series in New York.
