Seen from above Tokyo presents a daunting jigsaw puzzle that tells you little about the experience on the ground. The city reveals itself through an accretion of vignettes, glimpses, jump cuts, time travel, and the intimacy of small spaces. Some locations are outside Tokyo-to proper, but are part of an uninterrupted Tokyo Bay Metropolis.
