The weekend before last, Typhoon Hagibis ripped its way through Japan, leaving death and immense destruction in its wake. Now, a little over a week later, all is calm and seemingly back to normal, with the clean up and repairs well underway. A full recovery and sense of normalcy for many individuals, however, will clearly take much longer.
Back in the day, this old Japanese fella clearly wasn’t your average salaryman, as he speaks both English and Italian. Time, however, marches on regardless, and nowadays his past is of no interest whatsoever to those who pass him.
It might well be 40 years ago since Quadrophenia was first seen on UK cinema screens, but even now, in Tokyo, a weekend life based around scooters and sharp suits still lives on.
Post-typhoon light, and shadows.
A perfect 10 for matching patterns, but a considerably lower score for colour coordination.
