A photo collection by Japanese photographer Yoshio Mizoguchi, "Tokyo on the Brink of Sanity." Born in Hachioji, Tokyo, he started taking photographs in his own way in 1970, won the Juntaiyo Award in 1990 for "Firefly" (published his first book "Firefly" from Sokyusha in 2013), and is also a member of the photography group "Baku." He is a photographer who is known for his snapshots and portraits that are full of sex appeal and innocence, while still exuding a vague eroticism similar to Hara Yoshiichi. In addition to Firefly, he has also published "Days of Smelling Like Grass" from Nippon Camera, but this book is his latest work, released in 2022. An unofficial red-light district that existed in Asakusa before the war. The scene of the beautiful women who lived there and the men who visited in search of them is reminiscent of present-day Kabukicho in Shinjuku, and this is a collection of works that is typical of Mizoguchi, focusing mainly on the beautiful, sad, and painful women who visit this city.
