PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A wonderfully impractical guide to Tokyo -- Richie's home for the last 50 years, and a city he describes with affection as "an illogical, subtle, brash, teeming and utterly human place." Richie structures his essays as a geographic tour of the city, starting from its core at the Imperial Palace and branching out to surrounding neighborhoods. He digresses boldly, stopping frequently to consider the culture, history and fabric of the city. With evocative black-and-white photographs by Joel Sackett.
