"TOKYO 1985" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Masashi Okamoto. Published in 2020 by Sokyusha, this volume features approximately 60 previously unpublished snapshots of Tokyo taken in 1985. Okamoto has subsequently published works themed around Tokyo, including "Tokyo Summer 2020," "Everyday Tokyo 2021," and "Walks Tokyo 2022," and this volume marks the starting point of his urban observations. His monochrome images, capturing the alleyways and silhouettes of people on the eve of the bubble economy, quietly highlight the atmosphere of the era and the texture of the city without excessive staging. The book also includes a contribution by Daido Moriyama, probing the way we connect memories of 1980s Tokyo with the present.
