"Tokyo Portfolio" is a photobook by Japanese photographer Motoyuki Kobayashi. In 1992, he was selected as a "Parco promising photographer" for his documentary work in Roppongi featuring Gulf War veterans and fashion models. Since 2008, he has been working under his real name, Motoyuki Kobayashi, and in 2013 he made his directorial debut with the film "Tokyo Shutter Girl." This book is part of Shinchosha's "Photo Musée" series and is a photobook featuring models who were active in fashion magazines in the 1990s. It features familiar faces such as KAZUMA (now actor Kazuma Suzuki), Yuan, Ryo, and Munehisa Sakurada, and has a private, documentary feel to it. While the close proximity to the models elicited a variety of expressions, the photos also contained violent imagery, such as scenes of the photographer holding a knife or lighting a lighter, as well as pranks in shops and rooms. This suggests that even in fashion, a culture that reflects the times, the unsettling social climate following the bubble economy, such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the sarin attack, may have had an influence.
