Large format photo book of a futuristic Tokyo by Japanese photographer Kishin Shinoyama (1940-). While the scenes appear futuristic, dark photos lit in neon with models, when draped, done so in futurist styles, the book is a testament to the growth of the city, and documents the architectural landscape of Tokyo in the early 1990s. This copy signed by Kishin to the verso of the front free endpaper.
