"東京画" means "Tokyo picture" and derives from Wim Wenders' great movie. It is also the name of an international collective of photographers that shoot in Tokyo.
”東京画”は東京をベースに活動する国際的な写真家たちの集団です。”東京画”という名前は、ヴィム・ヴェンダースの素晴らしい映画から引用しました。

Thanks so much for curating this great selection of work from a city I love for a cause I support. I lived in Tokyo for only four years but it was the best time of my life. Looking at this glorious book, I just wish I had discovered photography while I was there rather than when I returned! :-) Copy bought!
