Produced as one of a trilogy of urban works alongside New York and Berlin, this collection captures Tokyo in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 2008 to 2013, while based in New York, Kojima traveled back and forth between Japan and the United States, photographing the streets of Tokyo each time. Without losing the fresh perspective felt upon returning to Japan after a long absence, he documented urban structures often overlooked in daily life, such as fire escapes, utility poles, power lines, small houses, and densely packed buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to his previous work \"New York,\" which was in monochrome, this book employs color. By organizing the complex and cluttered urban space within the camera's frame and transforming it into an orderly composition, he highlights the chaos, density, and unique texture of the city of Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKojima states that urban photography \"captures the unconsciousness of the city, which is outside human awareness and not noticed in daily life.\" In this book, too, by excluding people and focusing on the accumulation of artificial objects such as architecture, roads, signs, and billboards, he quietly brings out the structure and expression of the city itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book captures the contours of Tokyo from a unique perspective, as Kojima walked through the city, observing its ever-changing appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Title] Tokyo\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] Sokyu-sha\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] November 24, 2015\u003cbr\u003e[Pages] 64 pages (60 works included)\u003cbr\u003e[Size] Approx. 227 x 263 x 15mm \/ 605g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e[Language] Japanese, English\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] Tokyo\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor, etc.] Yasutaka Kojima\/Author, Michitaka Ota\/Editor, Akihiko Tsukamoto\/Book Design, Nobumi Akagawa\/Book Design\u003cbr\u003e[Printing] Sun-M Color\/Printing and Binding\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] 9784904120583\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used [4] Fair to Fair- (Spine and fore-edge slightly sunned, minor spotting on all three edges)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] -\u003cbr\u003e[Featured in] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibition] Yasutaka Kojima Photo Exhibition \"Tokyo\" (Ginza Nikon Salon, 2016)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYasutaka Kojima (b. 1977)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Tokyo.
