"Tokyo Metro" capture the impressionistic character of the city, observed primarily during long journeys by train and public transport. Jan Bajtlik managed to recreate the emotional character of individuals traveling every day, showing that the myth of an unidentified mass of people, a nameless crowd is a very superficial approach. The inspiration for the art book were simple sketchbooks, which are not only an aesthetic record, but also a psychological analysis of the characters encountered by the artist. The illustrations in the art book interpenetrate each other, giving the whole project an additional, more abstract dimension.
