A morning meander through non-touristy Tokyo

I’ve mentioned my long-standing love of Shinjuku numerous times on these pages, as due to the interesting people and unexpected scenes it continues to conjure up, the area remains a firm favourite. The parts of Tokyo I’m drawn to on a much more regular basis, however, are those that provide ordinary, even mundane moments. Simple signs of everyday lives lived like they have been for generations, and ideally in environments that accentuate the passage of time.

Whether these photographs manage that is of course debatable, but for me at least they were interesting little vignettes that caught my eye on a morning photowalk last week.

      Yeah, amazingly it’s still going. It has had a trim at the front, which allows the sign to be seen, but otherwise just the same.
