A photo book which captures the public toilets in Shibuya like you’ve never seen

With the aim of renewing the public toilets in the city into places of new awareness that will grab people’s attention, The Tokyo Toilet project was initiated. 17 innovative public toilets in Shibuya, Tokyo have been redesigned like we’ve never seen before by 16 world-class creators, such as one which offers shelter from the rain, one that looks like a spacecraft and a “squid toilet” in the “octopus park,” for everyone to use comfortably. The film Perfect Days by director Wim Wenders was set around The Tokyo Toilet, bringing it to life as a “quiet spot in busy Tokyo”. The project has now been developed into “The Tokyo Toilet Book” by photographer Yoko Takahashi. The 17 locations documented through her heart and lens will truly remain unforgettable, capturing the charming sceneries of new Tokyo forever.
