Description
Taken during Blur's first visit to Japan, Pachinko – Game of the Stars captures Dave Rowntree immersed in one of the country's most iconic cultural experiences. Photographed by one of his fellow band members, the image shows Rowntree engrossed in a game of pachinko, surrounded by the vibrant lights, colours and atmosphere of a traditional Japanese arcade.
Unlike many of the photographs in the collection, this work places Rowntree in front of the camera rather than behind it, offering a rare glimpse of the photographer as the subject. The candid image reflects the excitement and curiosity of a young band experiencing Japan for the first time, documenting a genuine moment of discovery during Blur's early international tours.
Now released as part of Dave Rowntree's photographic archive, Pachinko – Game of the Stars stands as both a personal memento and a fascinating piece of Britpop history. Printed as an archival pigment print on Somerset Satin Enhanced 330gsm, it offers collectors an authentic and nostalgic insight into life on the road during one of the defining eras of British music.
