Tokyo Vertigo - Steven Barber

The first book to capture all of the sensations of this ultimate futuristic city. Through the visceral prose of award winning author Stephen Barber, a cinematic portrayal of Tokyo emerges, from cl-up portraits of individual citizens to panoramic descriptions of its vast avenues and immense digital image screens. With over 20 striking photographs by renowned photographers such as Romaine Slocombe, Araki and Eikoh Hosoe, Tokyo Vertigo will appeal not only to adherents of Japanese culture, but to all readers engaged with a fascination of cities and contemporary culture.
