The last photo has been shown on Tokyo Times before, but the first three were taken very recently, so it was nice to put them together as a small set. A brief snapshot of a place that feels as much a part of the past as it does the present, and fingers crossed it’ll also be a similarly interesting feature of the future.
Sean says
The first and last are very cool. Gritty Tokyo. I love it! 🙂
Lee says
Thanks a lot. Yeah, this aspect of Tokyo is always interesting. Thankfully still a fair bit of it left.
Günter says
You show us many different sides of Japan. These are the opposite of your last post. Thank you for always sharing your work.
Lee says
You are very welcome. I only photograph things that interest me, so good to know they are enjoyed by other poeple as well.

I guess I am an idealist because I do not find graffiti to be interesting. To me it is blight. And a sign of disrespect for and alienation from the world in which one lives and shares with others. It makes me sad when I see it.
Lee says
It depends for me on what kind it is, and where it is. Here I don’t mind it all as it seems quite fitting. That said, something more artistic rather than what’s here is much more my thing.
Ron says
Thanks for sharing. I’ve always been fascinated with the character of this city which, if you’re willing to look for it, still exists and is fascinating when you find it.
Lee says
My pleasure. I genuinely enjoyed taking these. And likewise. Sights like this never disappoint. Always on the search for more too.
Matthias says
The Bar sign is wonderful. One of the best. Even though I can only read the upper part.
Lee says
It really is special, isn’t? Wonderfully dated and yet at the same time really quite timeless. Oh, and the bar name is Yuki. Likely the name of the owner. Or possibly one time owner.
