Junya Watanabe Photo Works
type: Product
description: Author: Junya Watanabe The second collection by a photographer captivated by Akihabara, capturing—“in the spirit of Saul Leiter”— poetic, colour-filled fragments hidden throughout the city.The second photobook in which visionary photographer JUNYA WATANABE captures Akihabara—a globally renowned hub of culture—from his singular perspective.Through the recurring motifs of night and rain, JUNYA portrays a digital city where information, electronics, computers, anime, gaming, and internet culture converge. Neon bleeding into rain-soaked alleyways, crowds flowing through the streets, lingering traces of the old electronics district—like overlapping scenes from a film, the book reveals the lived moments and memories of Akihabara that no search engine or dataset can ever capture. Across 256 pages and five chapters—“Light in Flux,” “Electronic Jungle,” “Yako-Suikei,” “Fantasy at Play,” and “Midnight Labyrinth”—the book presents Akihabara as a “cinematic city,” where the boundary between reality and fantasy begins to blur.“Like a film, light and shadow, people and memory, and the lingering traces of Electric Town overlap there. For me, Akihabara was ELECTRIC CINEMA.” —From the epilogue ISBN 9784875867739. Pie Books. pb. 256 pages. 21 x 14.8 cm. not yet published
