The photographer won the prestigious Kimura Ihei Prize with this book. It starts with portraits of used clothes and moves on to flying tin cans, distorted faces, window lights of houses in the dark, and crowds of people. It's one of those, "It looks interesting but I don't understand it..."

The book is a bit pricey for its normal size. At least an English translation is provided for the hard-to-read essay.
