Here is what people are saying about the Tokyo X
4 Star Rating  "Interesting Documentary Work"2007-06-12
- Reviewed By absentspace314
Shunji Ohkura combines abstract and documentary images to illustrate a bleak view of Tokyo in the midst of social decline. The images are stark and beautiful, ironic and satirical.
 
4 Star Rating  "Interesting, insightful"2006-05-03
- Reviewed By ctsamurai
I don't usually 'read' photo books. I don't really have a background in photography either. That being said, this book communicates its message very well. This book is not about paranoia or about "big brother" - though there is an element of servellance that does concern the author/photographer.

Instead, what he sees is a country that has been, literally, bombed out of its mind. I've heard Japan described as, "The first post-apocalyptic society," and Tokyo X is a great document to prove that statement. There is the hint of a past, but that past doesn't really connect to the Japan of today. There is a future, but that future has no soul, and the people living in present day Japan are simply not connected to anything except the flimsy ideas of trends, fashion, and being "modern". Its a very fascinating book, well worth looking over.

This book has beauty, yet its scary. How the men and women dress, I would have never imagined these images. The peircings, the make up. Scary.

We get the whole Big Brother gloom and doom thing.

Sorry, but it's -so- 1984 (... bad... joke...). But it's a bit outdated for the viewership who would likely find this book appealing, and a bit textually overstated. With the amazing and depthful black and white photography featured, it also stated the message too openly and makes one feel that the reader, somehow, has caught on to the great truth of the book before the book has.

The usage of cosplay photography is actually quite interesting and, dare I say, exciting in this book. The combination of subject matter is intriguing and the varienty shown is also heartening when compared with other forms of photography books marketed to the western world from Japan.

 
4 Star Rating  "Not "pretty" per se..."2003-01-11
- Reviewed By save_the_pack_rat
This book contains hundreds of black and white photos studying gritty, urban Japanese culture (primarily the sights of Tokyo, of course). You won't find lovely images of rock gardens and Mt. Fuji here; instead, one can see the many security cameras placed about, street advertisements, various teen fashions from punk piercings to 5" platform boots, and numerous other unglamorous things that aren't usually placed in tourism brochures. It's a very "real" book, one that reveals the everyday sights of an incredible, modern city.

This book is an amazing look at Japan. Anyone interested in photography or Japan should at least take a look.
