About This Item
Tokyo: Tokyo Metropolitan Culture Foundation, 1991. Paperback. 162p., text in Japanese characters, b&w reproductions on glazed alkaline paperstock, softbound in 11.5x8.5 inch decorated wraps. Cover and adjacent leaf bear a faint vertical bend (not quite a crease), a quarter-inch nick to head of spine and mild external edgewear, otherwise sound and entirely clean and unmarked. Expect a massive running narrative in Japanese only, with minimalist captioning in both Japanese and English. A good to very good copy. Squalid US imagery from 1880 (well-dressed thugs) to contemporary make-out scenes and drug injections. Amidst the anonymous squalor a few recognizable landmarks: a bleary Alfred Stieglitz; the Diane Arbus twins photo.
