[Tokyo] Two Platforms | Stroll, Photo and Essay by Tetsu Ozawa

One passenger stood on each platform

After leaving trains, most of the passengers vanish from the platforms and the platforms are wrapped by the silence. Yet it is a temporary escapism because the next trains came to the platform soon. This station is busy. The total number of passengers was about 730,000. So the silence flies away as if it was a phantom.

In the short silent time, two passengers appeared on the platforms. One man stood on the platform where I was and one woman stood on the opposite platform. They stood almost across the railway tracks from each other. However, it was just a coincidence. They didn't exchange glances. They waited for the train coming in each way. And they started to leave for their own house when the trains came.
