Topographics

"In Tokyo: A View of the City, Donald Richie, resident for more than 50 years, takes the reader on a tour of Japan's capital. Unlike other books on this fascinating place, this one gives a true feeling for what Tokyo is like, providing insights into its people, culture and ambience. Fashioning his account into a narrative in the shape of the city itself, Richie moves from the original and still sacred core - the Imperial Palace - to the outer neighbourhoods, including the Yoshiwara, the original red-light district; Ginza, the famous shopping street; and Shinjuku, the fabulous night-city. Richie includes excerpts from his journals (1947-98), providing insights about fads, fashions and fixations in contemporary Japanese culture, from electronic pets to holographic bodhisattvas."--Jacket.
