Last month I posted a series of photos from a walk round one of my favourite old Tokyo neighbourhoods. It’s a part of the city I visit regularly, with each and every wander different due to the people, conditions, and consistent new finds.
With that in mind then, a few weeks ago I had the chance to spend several consecutive days there, and with the weather all over the place, along with the varied sights and those wonderfully fleeting street scenes, it turned out to be a productive time. So here is a little of what I saw. A mixture of people, colours, and mostly unknown neighbourhood stories.

I love the lady with the red hair! 🙂
Lee says
Me too. It’s quite the striking look, isn’t it?

The doll in the blue dress and the ghost doll alongside trapped in the window of an abandoned house need their story telling.
You open so many windows into Tokyo life.
Lee says
Thanks a lot. Those dolls always fascinate me, sitting there quietly with their colours slowly fading.
Richard says
Although Japan is the world’s 4th largest economy, these photos could make one think of it as a developing country. I bet these people would have some very interesting stories to tell!
Lee says
I always think that when wandering around. A world away from the standard image of modern Japan. And yes, the changes they’ve seen and the stories they have must be fascinating.
