About: In Japan, a Coming of Age Ceremony is held for those turning twenty—a celebration marking their entry into adulthood. Yet at twenty, they are still, in many ways, children. In some cities, the ceremony takes on a wild, chaotic energy, with groups of youths causing disturbances and even occasional arrests. In this zine, Yusuke Nagata documents the notorious Coming of Age Ceremony in Kitakyushu, a city famous for its extravagant celebrations. Presented in a portrait style, the work captures the individuality and audacious fashion of the young participants, offering a vivid glimpse into a uniquely Japanese rite of passage.
