Richard Koek: Tokyo Tokyo Populair

After his bestselling book New York New York, Dutch photographer Richard Koek embarks on a new adventure. This time the city of Greater Tokyo. With over 40 million citizens, twice as many as New York City, Tokyo could not be contained in a typical photography book, Koek realized. He investigates the balance between the amazing aesthetics of traditional Japan, such as the kimono, the sakura (cherry blossom), and the sumo wrestler, and the beauty of citizens living everyday life. Koek shows us that these patterns of urban life are universal.
