Terayama Shūji (1935-1983) was an avant-garde Japanese poet, dramatist, film director, and photographer known for his highly provocative art. This book examines Terayama's life and art to show that a conventional notion of him does not do full justice to the meaning and importance of his wide-ranging, often playful body of work. The book places Terayama at the centre of Japanese and global counterculture and finds in his work a larger story about the history of postwar Japanese art and culture.
