Japanese-to-English Translation / Buyer Reference: Japanese Title: 非常階段東京 English Meaning: Emergency Staircase Tokyo English Title Shown on Book: THE ORIGIN OF TOKYO Cover Text Translation: “From emergency staircases, even the Imperial Palace, the city center, downtown areas, and the sky above are not excluded.” Additional Cover Text Translation: “The darkness of history and the eroticism of a glowing city. This book presents a way of urban photography in the 21st century.” Back Cover / Summary Translation: “Tokyo has darkness at its center, and around it light spreads as if eroding outward. The darkness is the Imperial Palace and cemeteries, a space of death and a space of the past. The surrounding light is generated by commercial activity. In other words, the beauty of Tokyo may be described as the beautiful scenery of capitalism overflowing around a vast space of death at its center.” Photographer Information: SATO Shintaro is a Japanese photographer known for atmospheric urban night photography and cityscape images. This book focuses on Tokyo’s unique visual character, city lights, and dense metropolitan structure.
