    Abstract

    This article explores ‘Tokyo underground’ as described by Régine Robin and Michaël Ferrier. In the strange spaces beneath the surface of the city, these writer-flâneurs discover forms of universality which they identify as Tokyo’s ‘syntax’; specific configurations of the common language spoken in and by metropolises all over the world.
