Donald Richie takes the reader on a revealing tour of the different districts of Japans capital city. Starting from the original centre of Tokyo the Imperial Palace Richie branches outwards, taking in other areas such as Yoshiwara, the original redlight district, and Ginza, the worldfamous shipping street. The author has kept a diary for the entire time he has lived in Tokyo, and excerpts from it provide onthespot insights into the significance of fashions and fads in Japanese culture (for example the recent Tamagochi craze), as well as the various aspects of life in a small neighborhood. Richie gives a real sense of how Japanese society has changed since the Second World War, yet remained rooted in its past.With the eclectic eye and ear of a filmmaker, Richie describes the flavor and idiosyncrasies of this chaotic, teeming city. Tokyo is illustrated with 30 intriguing photographs by Seattlebased photographer, Joel Sackett.
