The loveliest of lovely old couples

When conducting one of my Tokyo photowalk tours, I can easily guarantee certain sights and experiences, but exactly who we’ll see and potentially meet is obviously far more difficult to determine. So with that in mind, having the chance to photograph this elderly couple when out on a tour last week was especially pleasing. A pair whose home, garden and natural warmth provide a pretty much perfect example of why older Tokyo is so incredibly appealing.

    What lovely smiles they have! They fill one with warmth — and confidence that they’ve had many happy and fulfilling moments in their lives.

      I know eh? Seeing them both was an absolute treat. Many happy years, and hopefully many more to come.

      Thanks. Yeah, it’s scenes like this that draw me to these areas, and the backstreets. A world away from the city’s busy thoroughfares.
