70s Tokyo Transgenders collects a series of vintage street portraits capturing the counterculture and underground style of Tokyo's transgender community during the early 1970s.
Nihongi was part of the creative and photographic circles tied to Tokyo's early 1970s counterculture, contributing work to alternative publications like the magazine Hanashi-no-Tokushu (Story Special). This milieu focused on radical shifts in youth expression, fashion, and social identity. Rather than conventional commercial or high-society portraiture, Nihongi's camera focused on underground scenes, countercultural fashion, and individuals navigating identity in post-war Tokyo, capturing groups such as the city's transgender community and emerging youth style movements.
Drawn from high-contrast vintage photographic prints, this book documents the Tokyo transgender as seen by Nihongi amidst the rapid urban changes of 1970s Tokyo.
