A series of images taken between 2008 and 2014 that document the cityscape of Tokyo. In the afterword Yasutaka Kojima writes that he has been recording the cityscape since 2008 and that the city gives a sense of evanescence: all cities are formed by human greed, whose depth decides their size, and everything that exists in them is made intentionally by people; cities transform themselves every moment like nature. In a period in which identity and subjectivity have been lost in the urban environment, the city has lost the traditional meaning of perspective structure and collapses and expands beyond human intention. He sees the future of cities in the boundary between humans and nature, as if human greed had disappeared, and wants to record it by photography before it disappears.
