Tokyo-born and raised, Takashi Homma paints a contemporary portrait of modern-day Tokyo that is both cinematic and complex. His vision of the city is nuanced between sterility and sentimentality, populated by a younger generation of gamers, fashion killers, impressive architectural structures and serene roof gardens. Having spent time in Parus & London working for Purple & i-D, his work always returns to and revolves around his city. This is Homma's first book published for an international audience; the rest of his work has been published exclusively in Japan. Printed on dense paper with torn edges, it's a sensory delight to flick through.
