Slowly disappearing Tokyo?
A long life, in an old Tokyo house, slowly disappearing from view.
Happy Japanese family
Well, mother and son are happy — of that there’s no doubt. The father’s expression, however, make his feelings much harder to fathom.
A Japanese priest on horseback in Tokyo
Exactly what the title says, along with a colourful, but rather carelessly placed parasol. A sight that needless to say is not something one sees everyday. Or indeed the vast majority of days. Making the slightly surreal scene all the more special.
Tokyo: The struggle
Odd foreign mannequins in a faded Japanese fashion shop
In older parts of Tokyo, and especially out of the city itself, faded fashion shops are far more common than any big brand stockist. Businesses that are stuck in the past both in the clothes they sell, and the kinds of customers they occasionally attract.
This particular place, however, made up for any lack of visitors with the odd addition of some similarly odd foreign mannequins.
Figures that while definitely on the disturbing side, at the same time draw you in. Tempting you deeper and deeper into the shop’s deceptively large interior.
All of which is perfectly safe of course, provided you don’t blink.
