TOKYO TYPOLOGY 1

£20.00

東京タイポロジー１（Tokyo Typology 1)

In this zine, I am zooming in and touching on both the iconic and overlooked elements that create the street-side visual vernacular of Tokyo. Chunky with personal observations, interesting facts and insight gleaned about the everyday details that make this city so fascinating.

Issue one ponders over the typology of:

  • Container gardens

  • Plant covered buildings

  • Concrete breeze blocks

  • Those ridiculously cute barricades

  • The ubiquitous overhead electrical cables

  • Rose tinted sun shades

  • Those cheeky ceramic Tanuki

  • Equally cheeky playground rockers

  • Tokyo’s penchant for umbrellas

  • The overlooked details of street mirrors

  • The immense range of urban typology

  • Tokyo’s curious addiction to cones

  • and more! Lots more in fact.

Along with research notes and loads of photos, I’ve included recommendations for books, zines, websites, social accounts for you to dig into.

A quick rundown on the physical details of this zine. Please read the following carefully before you make the decision to buy one:

  • Small batch printed in Kyushu.

  • 15cm x 15cm square paper back

  • Glue bound with the cover printed on a dust jacket.

  • 142 pages of images and commentary

  • Includes a mini “poster stamp” sticker set. Designed by @minimalism_tokyo

  • Includes a hand stamped card made with rubber stamps from @sabotens_tokyo

  • Price is in £GBP - if you would like to pay in Japanese Yen - please contact me directly.

  • Zines will be posted from Tokyo via standard airmail in either a paper envelope (rather than a bubblewrap mailer) so it can pass as airmail rather than a “small packet”. Please understand that I cannot replace any zines that go missing. If you would like to have your order sent with tracking and insurance, please let me know BEFORE placing an order.
