Tokyo is the last book in William Klein's series themed around cities following New York (1956), Rome (1956) and Moscow (1961). The book was reissued in a new edition only once in 2014, 50 years after the first edition was published. The cover is designed by Klein himself, while the original edition is preserved. The camerawork captures the whole picture of Tokyo in 1961, a time of rapid economic growth and the hustle and bustle of the city three years before the Tokyo Olympics.
