Small quarto. 104pp. Photographic boards, spine lettered in white and magenta. Illustrated with approximately 100 black & white photos of Tokyo’s urban life & residents. Edition limited to 1000 copies. A fine, as new copy. “For Moriyama [Tokyo] represents his natural habitat and ultimate playground: the specific rhythm of the traffic, the tangible dynamic, the energy, and the infinite variety of people who endlessly stream over the side walks are hard to resist.” (Maurice Feil).

Tokyo. An urban melting pot filled with contradictions–hissing, chaotic and vibrant, fully submerged in an everlasting process of change, metamorphoses and transformation. Faces unexpectedly pop up to disappear again in a crowd that is always on the move. Turmoil, vitality, disorder and potency are the city’s hallmarks. The fascination of vibrant city life with all its extremes has not left photography untouched.

Talking about Tokyo and photography it is impossible not to think immediately of Daido Moriyama, one of Japan’s major photographers with an great influence on the development of contemporary photography.

This book contains a selection of photos taken by Moriyama taken in several parts of the city.
