British architectural photographer Peter M. Cook (*1967) started
travelling to Tokyo in 1992, settling there in 1998. Peter has
devoted himself to photographing buildings across Japan. Edo, which
is the old name for Tokyo, is the culmination of twenty years
tirelessly documenting Tokyo and its buildings, recording an
architectural evolution of the city. For his photo book, Peter M.
Cook has selected 100 images of Tokyo, paying homage to the visual
language of Hiroshige's 100 Views of Edo: Mount Fuji makes an
appearance, ghostlike in the background, its powerful iconic
presence a reminder of a constant in nature, in contrast to the
urban landscape at its base. At the same time, Cook's abstract
aesthetics are reminiscent of the pioneering silent film Metropolis
from 1927, which has set the scene for the futuristic city. The
book furthermore includes a haiku by the renowned Japanese
architect Kengo Kuma whose buildings Cook started to document for a
new project.
