Book Description
A unique take on modern life in Tokyo, Japan's capital city. A Japan of trains,
everyday to and fro, carriage scenes and theatre, vistas from the window,
advertising posters. Each to be savoured through a specific Tokyo line - the
Odakyu. Pitched as creative text and colour illustrations, 'Tokyo Commute'
offers on-track and off-track observations. A gallery of mirrors, musings,
memories. This is less documentary than iconography, a poetics of Japanese
routine and etiquette. It offers a wry diary of month-and-weekday observations,
a 'map' of Shinjuku as key station and gathering place, a run of notable Tokyo
locations - from the national bunraku theatre to a Kawasaki
