Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A vivid account of life on the margins and Tokyo's 1970s underground culture from a Japanese folk legendTokyo in the 1970s was a magnet for young musicians, poets and painters. Among them was Kazuki Tomokawa, a prolific singer-songwriter from Japan's northern provinces, whose guttural vocals…and incisive lyrics earned him the unofficial title of 'screaming philosopher.'The stories in this memoir--originally published in 2015 in Japan and now appearing as the first English translation of Tomokawa's writing--are told with a rambler's wit and wisdom, bringing together his memorable reflections on six decades of day labor, drinking, gambling, acting, singing and writing. Figures such as Kan Mikami, Nobuyoshi Araki and Shuji Terayama drift through this down-and-out vagabond's memoir, which observes the turbulence of postwar countercultures and the explosion of Tokyo's underground film and music scenes.Also available from Blank Forms Editions are Kazuki Tomokawa's first three records: Finally, His First Album (1975), Straight From the Throat (1976) and A String of Paper Cranes Clenched Between My Teeth (1977).Kazuki Tomokawa (born 1950) is a prolific singer-songwriter from Hachiryu Village (now the town of Mitane) in the Akita Prefecture area of northern Japan.
