In his editorial, Daido Moriyama writes about how the two-man show with works by himself and Shomei Tomatsu at the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie (MEP) in Paris, which was repeatedly postponed due to the spread of Covid-19, is finally opening. He also expresses regret that Tomatsu, who passed away unexpectedly about a year after proposing the idea for the show, is not around to see it. But the photographs in this volume show scenes in the area around Tokyo Tower, an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice structure painted white and international orange and located in the city's Minato ward. Shot during the pandemic, it is again a set of "cityscapes with face masks".
