Abandon the Old in Tokyo continues to delve into the urban
underbelly of 1960s Tokyo, exposing not only the seedy dealings of
the Japanese everyman but Yoshihiro Tatsumi's maturation as a
storyteller. Many of the stories deal with the economic hardships
of the time and the strained relationships between men and women,
but do so by means of dark allegorical twists and turns. A young
sewer cleaner's girlfriend has a miscarriage and leaves him when he
proves incapable of finding higher-paying work. When a factory
worker loses his hand on the job, the parallels between him and his
pet monkey prove startling and significant.
