- Double-weighted statement
- This book could not have been written without deep familiarity with the city that became Tokyo, gained over decades of immersion in Japanese sources, many unpublished. It gathers a vast quantity of data, from proclamations, diaries, and letters, but also literature and poetry. There is also much emphasis on artistic representation. The result is an interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional assessment of the seat of shogunal power, before it transformed into the modern Japanese capital, that covers urban planning, but also political, literary and art histories.
