Published as a companion to Weekend (2023), the photobook takes the reader on a journey into the good old days of Showa-era Tokyo. Photographed between 1974 and 1977, it focuses on the downtown (shitamachi) areas of eastern Tokyo, traditionally the less developed part of the city and home to humbler, more rustic scenes of everyday life. The black-and-white photographs capture completely ordinary moments, such as cars parked between houses, posters on walls, clothes drying in front of doorways and cats lounging in back alleys, and reveal the everyday ingenuity and architectural idiosyncrasies of a vanishing world. In the afterword Shigeru Yamazaki recalls a strange feeling of being unable to tell reality from unreality, a world between dreams and reality, and calls the Showa-era city a wonderland.
