Published in December 2023 by Kinkan Publishing, the book merges street photography, performance, and blurred dream states into a dark psychogeography of Tokyo’s shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"925\"\u003eUchibori moves through the city with an almost mediumistic instinct, capturing anonymous figures, mirror reflections, distorted gestures, and ghostlike doubles that seem to hover between the living and the dead. The work is not spectral in the gothic sense—it’s gritty, smeared, and corporeal, as if the ghosts are burned directly into the paper. Printed in high-contrast black and white with strong editorial direction, the book balances visual intensity with eerie restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003eWhile the title nods playfully to pop culture, Uchibori’s project is closer to Daido Moriyama by way of Georges Bataille—obsessed with the invisible, the ephemeral, and the socially repressed. The book is published in a refined yet raw format by Kinkan, a Tokyo-based imprint specialising in contemporary Japanese photography with subcultural bite. In Darwin, it stands as a newly emergent object from Tokyo’s photographic underground—restless, anxious, and alive with ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1741\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003cbr data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eTitle: Tokyo Ghost Busters\u003cbr data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Yoshiyuki Uchibori\u003cbr data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1490\"\u003eDate: 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset\u003cbr data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Softcover\u003cbr data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1573\"\u003eDimensions (cm): approx. 22 × 30\u003cbr data-start=\"1605\" data-end=\"1608\"\u003eLanguage: English \/ Japanese\u003cbr data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1639\"\u003ePages: Not stated\u003cbr data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1659\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Kinkan Publishing\u003cbr data-start=\"1696\" data-end=\"1699\"\u003eISBN: 978-8-9913407-0-3\u003cbr data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1725\"\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52566381494610,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_2_91b41913-8abf-45e7-9712-3bb05ca84052.jpg?v=1769429562","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/tokyo-ghost-busters-by-yoshiyuki-uchibori-2023","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
