“I had no choice but to buy my first large-format camera, and since I didn’t have a car, I mounted my equipment on the foot of my scooter and traveled around Tokyo for more than two years. That was my starting point as a photographer, and it seems like a small miracle that more than 30 years after its original publication, Apartment is releasing a new version of Tokyo Style.” —Kyoichi Tsuzuki

More than three decades after its original publication, this new edition of Tokyo Style revives a cult classic and iconic collector's item. Kyoichi Tsuzuki's timeless photographs offer an intimate look at Tokyo homes as they are actually inhabited, presented here in a refreshed design that retains the generous format of the original book. A selection of the book's iconic images culminates in a new afterword by Kyoichi that unravels the nostalgia evoked by his work, which captures an analog world of rich self-expression. A foreword by writer Barry Yourgrau, a longtime friend of Kyoichi, reflects on the "messy and prodigiously messy" hiding places of Tokyo, filled with everything "from the obscene to the bizarre and the funky to the kawaii (Japanese for 'cute')."

Tokyo Style invites readers into the daily routines of one of the world's most important metropolises, offering a model of how we might live more connected to ourselves and our community. "Take a seat," Kyoichi beckons. "This lifestyle isn't so bad."
