Description
[Cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume II. (London and New York: Phaidon, 2006).] From the publisher: "Grahically dense, darkly printed and devoid (for a non-Japanese speaker) of interpretative signs or text, Osamu Kanemura's celebrated Spider's Strategy shows Tokyo as a city of constant collisions, confusions, and expansion. Ever present is a tangle of overhead wires, suggesting a spider web spreading throughout the city, or the connective tissues of an organic and unguided growth."
