Provoke magazine, created and published by art critic Koji Taki, photographer Takuma Nakahira, poet Takahiko Okada, photographer Yutaka Takanashi, and (for issues 2 and 3) photographer Daido Moriyama, has had an incalculable influence on photography around the world. The individual issues, however, have become extremely rare books that only a few photography enthusiasts will ever see. With this reissue faithful to the original, the Japanese publisher Nitesha offers a facsimile reprint of the three fundamental issues.
All three reissues are as close to the originals as possible, including book sizes and paper choice, and feature all the images and text from the originals, including all text by Takahiko Okada. In addition, a fourth booklet offers complete English and Chinese translations of all the essays and poems in each of the three issues.
