Tokyo Monogatari" is a collection of photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki (1940-), one of Japan's leading photographers, who has published some 500 books of photographs since his "Xerox Photo Albums" (25 volumes) published in 1970 as a private edition. This book, published in 1989, is a collection of photographs of various locations in Tokyo, as described in the text. In the end of the book, Araki writes that the photographs were taken "in the last couple of years," so they are images of Tokyo at the end of the 1980s, taken with a 6 x 7 size camera in landscape position only, and the format of the book is also 6 x 7, with one photograph per page. The following is from Araki's text "Tokyo Story. Araki has published some 500 books of photographs since his private edition of "Xerox Photo Albums" (25 volumes) in 1970. As you can see, he is very fond of Tokyo. Tokyo is a story. Tokyo is a photograph. (omission) I loved Yasujiro Ozu's film "Tokyo Story," and I had hoped to someday publish a photo book like it, with the same title. That's why this photo book has been more than 10 years in the making.
