Читать книгу Tokyo Megacity - Donald Richie - Страница 5

“This text is dedicated to the memory of Edward G. Seidensticker (1921–2007), the finest of Tokyo’s chroniclers and the one who loved Tokyo best. He once said that the very shape of Tokyo ensured its many qualities. It is this shape that the text seeks to show, words in the shape of a city.”—Donald Richie.

“These photographs are dedicated with the greatest respect to Donald Richie, Tokyo’s esteemed ambassador of art and cultural authority for more than sixty years.”—Ben Simmons.
