春日昌昭╱Masaaki Kasuga
生活情報センター (Seikatsu Joho Center) ╱2006╱30.5 × 23.5 cm╱239 pp.╱Monochrome
＜Condition＞ Good. With obi, slight creasing to the dust-jacket edges, light rubbing and minor soiling, otherwise in very good condition.
＜Description＞
Shot between 1963 and 1966 in the run-up to and aftermath of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Masaaki Kasuga’s panoramic street photographs capture a city in flux—cranes and construction sites sharing space with narrow shitamachi alleys, trams, trolley-buses and three-wheeled delivery carts.The large-format presentation (30.5 × 23.5 cm) allows each of the 239 high-contrast monochrome plates room to breathe, revealing both the grit and quiet poetry of post-war Tokyo.An introductory essay by critic Yoshinao Satō places the work within the broader narrative of Olympic-era urban transformation.First published in 2006 by Seikatsu Joho Center, 40 Years Ago in Tokyo remains the only edition to date, and first-edition copies with obi are now scarce outside of specialist Japanese dealers—making this example a valued document of 1960s Tokyo street life.
