This is a collection of works by Takanashi Yutaka, one of Japan's leading postwar photographers. From his commercial work from the 1960s, such as "Otsukare-sama," to his work with Takuma Nakahira and Daido Moriyama in the group "Provoke," his outstanding camerawork and photography theories, both in his private and public life, Takanashi's ideas came to fruition in the 1974 collection "To the City" (including "Tokyoites"). After that, he changed his stage from "cities" to "towns," and, carrying a large camera on his back, he devoted himself to taking photographs of "downtown" areas in "color," taking buses and streetcars. This photobook was published three years later in 1977. Tokyo was becoming increasingly "urbanized" during the period of high economic growth after the war. In Tokyo, there are still "downtowns" where the traditions and customs from Edo are still strongly lingering, and to borrow the words of Shotaro Ikenami, "When the people of Tokyo of the past see these things still faintly living in a corner of Tokyo that has been completely destroyed, they breathe a sigh of relief." Takanashi may have felt the same way. This is the prologue of a great photographer who would go on to look at "cities" from various perspectives and ideas. Comes with a booklet.
