'Tokyo's cultural history, which is what Mansfield so splendidly serves us, is a template of its times, and in offering it, this book joins the best. Scholarly but packed, pungent and personal, it gives us the new key to the city.' --Japan Times
Stephen Mansfield is an author and photojournalist who has been living on the edges of Tokyo since the late 1980s.
