| Synopsis: |
Take a photo tour of Japan's capital of cool with this guide to Tokyo! From the chic streets of Omotesando to the Tosho-gu shrine complex in Nikko, built to consecrate the Edo-era shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, award-winning author Rob Goss takes readers through the patchwork of varied districts and sights that make up Tokyo and its neighboring towns. Tokyo: Capital of Cool delves into Tokyo's defining traits including the city's Edo-era roots; its thirst to both modernize and yet retain its traditions; its culinary heritage; and the impact of its vibrant youth. You'll be amazed at the vivid photographs and the in-depth language that goes far beyond the boundaries of a normal guidebook in offering insights into one of the world's greatest cities. In Tokyo: Capital of Cool, you'll discover ideas and inspiration for places to visit, a window onto this unique location, and a deeper understanding of its people and Japanese culture."When it comes to illustrating the cool modern side of Tokyo, everything from Shibuya and Roppongi to Ginza and Omotesando is included, with colourful images of not just the architecture but also the people and fashion. I think it's the images of people that really make me love this book-after all, it's the people that make a city what it is." -Haiku Girl blog |
