Join French graphic artist Florent Chavouet on a six-month walking exploration of Tokyo in Tokyo on Foot. With nothing but colour pencils, a sketchbook and an open mind, Chavouet wanders through Tokyo’s vibrant neighbourhoods and captures the city in candid sketches, hand-drawn maps and witty observations.

Rather than the glossy tourist side of Tokyo, this book presents the lively everyday scenes – shopkeepers, salarymen, grandma in her neighbourhood shrine, tangled power lines, pachinko parlors and unexpected corners of the city.

Organised by district, each section opens with the local kōban (police box) and invites readers into a Tokyo seen on foot and up-close rather than from trains and towers. 
Beautifully illustrated and filled with humour and insight, this is a perfect gift for travel lovers, art-book collectors and Japan enthusiasts.
