Published in 2000 by Little More, the book presents photographs taken over more than a decade, showing Tokyo’s most iconic locations—Shibuya, Ginza, Shinjuku—devoid of people.

Shot at a turning point in Moriyama’s career, its abrasive sequencing—grain, blur, overexposure—rejects representation in favor of intensity. This 2023 Getsuyosha reprint follows the 2019 edition, with a more compact format and new binding, and includes the full Hilltop Hotel conversation with Takuma Nakahira.
