"Though it has been only two years, many things have faded away.
Buildings demolidshed, vacancies vanished, monorail disused, ballpark closed down, Ferris wheel scrapped, the last May Day...
and my friend S who could not, and would never see this cherry blossom." (© Koji ONAKA, 2001)
"Excellent early photobook by Koji ONAKA with unusual garish color (reminiscent of Martin PARR) snapshot style images of Tokyo.
The photos in this volume, 'Tokyo Candy Box', were all taken between the years 1999 and 2001, during which period the urban landscape of Tokyo underwent great change, change which has never stopped.
Koji ONAKA presents scenes full of people, cars, public transportation, and gives a sense of Tokyo's rhythms and of a often ugly but never dull city."
