TOKYO 1961 (New Edition) — William Klein — Akio Nagasawa Publishing — 2014

Klein’s Tokyo is dense, confrontational and constantly in motion. Photographed in 1961, the city appears through pachinko parlours, the stock exchange, strippers, crowds, billboards and neon as Japan entered rapid economic growth three years before the Olympics. The final volume in Klein’s celebrated sequence of city books, it was reissued fifty years after the original publication, retaining his cover design. This substantial 200-page edition, limited to 1,000 copies, restores one of the defining visions of postwar Tokyo.
