The mundane, everyday moments of Tokyo’s older neighbourhoods have increasingly become a focus of my work. Little snippets of life, and the things left behind, that in many ways mean so little, and yet at the same time contain such a lot.
Below then is a selection of some more, with all of them taken on a Photowalk tour I did just over a week ago.
Denise says
I love your daily life series. There is so much warmth in them. I’m also obsessed by the lady in the purple beret. So stylish! 🙂
Lee says
Thank you very much. That’s really good to hear. And yes, she definitely isn’t your average seaweed seller that’s for sure!
Mike says
Stunning stuff Lee, as ever!
Lee says
Thanks a lot, that’s really kind of you.
Richard says
The ones with the people are great. Love the woman in the purple beret the most!
Lee says
She’s great, isn’t she? The photos I have of people are always my faves as well. They say so much more.
Richard says
As I have noted before, your photos of the people would make a great book! I would buy one for me and a handful for family and friends as a gift.
Lee says
Thank you. That’s very kind. It would be great to do one. One day. Hopefully.

A nice (and valuable) collection of the old waysdecaying and the old ways living on. At least one of the people will be looking ahead rather than back. I wonder how he will remember things. I look at where my grandparents lived in a row of old 2up2down terraces with potteries factory chimney front and back, and see no trace other than the main road. Just car parks, new estates and supermarkets.
Lee says
That’s a very good point about the young lad. Where he lives is going to be a very different place indeed when he’s older. It will only be in his memory too, as like you said, there’ll be little visible trace of what he sees now.
