Ginza Kaiwai - Ginza Haccho

description

A two volume set of publications published in 1954 about the Ginza neighborhood of Tokyo housed in a brown cardboard box with a printed label. The first volume, "Ginza Kaiwai," edited by artist and writer Shohachi Kimura, includes a history of Ginza with photographs, illustrations, a beautiful color wood block print by Hiroshige, detailed hand drawn aerial maps of the neighborhood and more. The second volume, "Ginza Haccho," is a slip hardcover leporello book by Shohachi Kimura featuring text beneath black-and-white panoramic photographs by Yoshikazu Suzuki of every building on Ginza Street printed on the top and bottom of the page. The format of the book closely mirrors Edward Ruscha's opus artist's book "Every Building on the Sunset Strip" published twelve years later in 1967.
