Tokyo Lovers

Chikashi Kasai
Genkosha/2017/Japanese/190 × 235 mm

Photographer Noriaki Kasai's photo collection Tokyo no Koibito (Lovers of Tokyo). Born to renowned butoh dancer and choreographer Akira Kasai, a figure in the avant-garde art world, he studied at Rudolf Steiner schools in Germany during his teens and majored in architecture and environmental design at Tama Art University. He is a purebred artist and photographer who continues to work at the forefront of commercial, music, and nude portrait photography. This book is Kasai's fifth monograph, a substantial volume containing 380 carefully selected plates from the vast number of female nude portraits and landscapes he has accumulated since 2011. True to its title, the focus is primarily on the “women” of Tokyo. While the cover photo suggests Kasai's signature intimate, erotic portraits, the collection predominantly features images of women imbued with his characteristic, moist sensuality—less the freshness of the cover and more his usual allure. Occasional glimpses of landscapes create a sentimental atmosphere.
