Yutaka Takanashi - Toshi-he & Tōkyōjin nōto (Towards the city & Notebook People of Tokyo, 高梨 豊 都市へ, 東京人ノート) , Izara Shobō (self published), 1974, Tokyo

 

Two volumes in a black clamshell box, hard clothbound cover with convex aluminum plate and softcover. Design by Kohei Segiura, Text by Gozo Yoshimasu.

„The title is programmatic: Takanashi moves the viewer 'towards the city' hazy and indistinct at first but suddenly we are there: Loneliness and emptiness, a boy watching Barbie dolls through a small window, light and darkness, waves lashing against the shore dominated by an industrial plant, co-incidental shapes and grainy fog, this is Japanese avant-garde at its best with a distinct sense of 'fu-an' (uncomfortable, lit. without safety). Black is the colour that unites the two volumes: But whereas the large folio is sumptuously printed on very high quality paper, the small brochure has the feel of a school-boys notebook. This is without doubt Takanashi's best work.“ (Titus Boeder)
