'Critics have repeatedly and stereotypically described my photographs by saying that they reveal Tokyo's chaos. They are still saying that, to my amazed disgust, but I have never once had that intention when taking a photograph. Unable to shoot the city as a whole, I have tried instead to construct an image one shot and one slice of film at a time. I have no particulat liking for confusion or complexity per se. I feel no nostalgia for the confusion and disorder of scenes that have disappeared. What I shoot are material realitites that cannot be wholly reduced to the discourses of urbanism, culure, or art.'
(Abstract from the introductory dialogue by Osamu Kanemura)
