The books gathers early works taken between 1982 and 1984 of Japanese photographer Koji Onaka. 

"When I was 22 years old, I came across some photo paper called "GEKKO VR-4" Similar to a distortion effects pedal for a guitar, anything could be changed into hard contrast with this magic paper. With this, I thought I would become like Daido Moriyama. I was happy rapidly making a lot of hard prints. If I had made these prints one year ago, I think that all the photography school teachers would be pretty angry! I thought that the harder the print is, the cooler it is. However, this is because I was a member of the image shop "CAMP" then."
