Photographs from a small group of islands
Tokyo is a city that’s constantly reinventing itself, which is something I’ve been trying to document of late in relation to the capital’s disappearing old bars and businesses. But those kinds of changes are nothing when you start going back further in time. Like way back to the1600s for example, when the area below was home to a 100-man gun squad — which given its current guise, feels more akin to fantasy than historical fact.
An unusually quiet Tokyo moment that felt a world away from the world just outside.
Tokyo is constantly, very visibly changing, and yet in many ways, it looks and remains exactly the same.
Old and decaying Shinto torii gates are incredibly striking, but in their own way, so are the religion’s priests.
They were surprised to see me, but nowhere near as surprised as I was to see them.
Late summer looks.
