"Tokyo 1961 (Japanese Edition)" is a collection of works by William Klein, one of the most representative photographers of the 20th century. It is a collection of photos of the city series that Klein released in succession from the 1950s to the 1960s. It started with "New York", then "Rome", and the third is "Tokyo". New York is the area where Klein lives. At the time, 1/3 of the population of New York was Italian, and Klein himself spoke Italian, so he was able to take photos in Rome without any worries, but "Tokyo" was the first unknown land for Klein. He did not understand the language being spoken or the meaning of the written words, and it was a new situation for him, so he photographed "Tokyo" relying only on "intuition". This is a collection of works that expose Klein's raw sensibility, captured in an environment where "everything is worth seeing, but nothing can be interpreted". A reprint was published by Akio Nagasawa in 2014, but this is the Japanese version of the first edition published in 1964, published by Zokei-sha.
