Trope Tokyo, the fourth volume in the Trope City Editions series,
celebrates the architecture and urban landscapes of this dynamic
metropolis fusing the ancient and the ultramodern. The collection
highlights the photographic images of emerging and independent
photographers from Tokyo and beyond, who through their passion for the
craft, creative development, and social media smarts have attracted
impressive followings on Instagram.
This carefully curated and bound collection of 224 photographs offers
a new perspective of Tokyo. Each chapter is accompanied by a map,
along with the locations where the photographs were taken. From high
above Tokyo Tower to the scramble of Shibuya Crossing, these images
command a strong point of view: digitally processed, filtered, toned,
de-saturated, sharpened, for a very urban sensibility. Showcasing both
the quiet traditionalism and sleek futurism of contemporary Tokyo, the
images reveal distinctive and dramatic visions of one of the world's
greatest cities.
