商品の説明
内容説明
Tokyo is a city unrivaled. It stands on the cutting edge of the future and thrives on an inimitable blend of technology, trend, and tradition.
It is a bundle of contradictions sprung from a melding of East and West. The highrises of Shinjuku may rule the skyline, but the Imperial Palace, quiet and dignified, remains the spiritual and geographic heart of the city. The trendsetting boutiques of Harajuku may sate Tokyoites' appetite for the latest in spangle and chic, but it is to the peaceful backstreets of tradition-bound shitamachi that they turn to steep themselves in the Tokyo closest to their soul.
lntroducing Tokyo visually explores this complex city in a way that mere words could never do. Photographer Ben Simmons, a long-time Tokyo resident, knows his city, and every shot radiates with unmistakable Tokyo vitality. Author Donald Richie writes with wit and sensitivity about the city he has called home for over forty years.
For the visitor, this volume is an invaluable memento of sights seen (Ginza, Shinjuku, Akihabara, Asakusa--they are all here). For the general reader, Introducing Tokyo delivers precisely what its title promises, an incisive look at one of the world's most vital, modern, and multifaceted cities.

great overview for the traveler

You can find all kinds of information on Tokyo in books, from sections full of text and no pictures in lengthy guidebooks to books devoted exclusively to Tokyo. However, in planning for my trip to Japan, I found it really hard to get my bearings with respect to the city. Finally, I sat down with Introducing Tokyo and the Tokyo City Atlas and by reading section by section and looking for the sections of Tokyo in the atlas, I was finally able to get a sense of what's what and what's where in the city.
The book is large format - maybe 12 by 9 inches, and perhaps 20 to 25% text and the rest pictures. It has six major sections and covers six major sections of Tokyo. It just gives and overview and photographs from each section. It's not intended as a guidebook, but it's a great place to start before poring through your guidebooks. The photos are good, and I enjoyed the writing style.
