The only things that stands perfectly still in this city of ceaseless motion are its statues. Not that most Tokyoites notice them. But I do.
In fact, I consider statue-watching a hobby. It's easier than people-watching and far less risky. For I have yet to have a statue flash a dirty look in return.
So I inserted a "Best 10 Statues" section in "Top Tokyo Sights," a bilingual guidebook I published this month with Kodansha International. The book is filled with sections on Tokyo's best 10 parks, best 10 museums, best 10 coffee shops, best 10. . . well, you name it, all very subjective and all taking advantage of modern man's insatiable desire to view the world through lists.
