Photos taken in TOKYO (16/54)

The Man Came Out Of The Diner Through The Shop Curtain

The Strong Summer Sun Was Shining And Much Of The Street Was Covered By The Shadows Of The Surrounding Buildings

The Man With A Bright Yellow Umbrella Seemed To Be Walking Down A Dull Street, Shining His Light

Because The World Is So Commercialized, I Want At Least Nature To Be Far Away From Greedy Capitalism

The Shinkansen Runs On An Elevated Track, Hidden From The Eyes Of Passersby Walking On The Surface Of The Earth

It Is A Very Animistic Belief That The Deified Fuji Is An Object Of Faith

The Appearance Of The Fish Shop In The Old-fashioned Shopping Street Was Still Reminiscent Of The Showa Period

The Quiet Precinct Is A Great Place To Spend A Quiet Moment Without Disturbing Anyone

A Couple Hurried Past, Looking Curiously At The Man Who Had Been Eagerly Praying At The Gate

The Cat Seemed To Realize That I Was Useless And Walked Away Without Saying Hello

An Old-fashioned Clothing Store Was Operating Along The Old Nikko Kaido Road

The Pig Figurine With Its Mouth Wide Open, Gazing Into The Void, Looks Like It Has No Idea What It's Doing, But It's On A Mission

Beyond The Stone Torii Gate Stood A Shrine Hall Dedicated To Daikokuten, The God Of Food And Wealth

The Approach To The Historic Senju Shrine Was Empty And Deserted

It Was A Fairly Meandering Alleyway, So This May Have Once Been A River

It's A Bit Scary To See A Confident-looking Pig Suddenly Appear In A Deserted Area With Few Pedestrians

Its Dapper Appearance Was Ill-suited To A Place So Far From The Sun-drenched Earth

Despite The Noise Of The Fairground, The Café Was Quiet And Everyone Was Still

The Walls Were Like A Canvas And The Women Seemed To Be Moving Through The Canvas

Steep Stone Steps Had To Be Climbed To Get To The Main Hall, Which Was Like A Gateway To Getting On Your Feet

Ikegami Honmon-ji Temple Does Not Seem To Appear In Foreign Guidebooks, And We Did Not See Any Foreign Tourists When We Walked Around The Temple Grounds

Beyond The Small Gate, The Sunlight Was Brilliant And Blindingly Bright

The Magnificent Stone-built Nihonbashi Bridge Is Now Under The Motorway And Has Lost Its Dignity, So The Only Thing To See Is A Statue Of A Qilin

The Fence Was A Little Higher Than The Girl, And Although She Was Standing On Her Tiptoes And Stretching As Much As She Could, The Girl's Head Never Went Over The Fence

The Sight Of The Man In A Horse Mask Playing Drums Would Have Caught The Ears Of Many, And The Situation Would Have Been Exactly As The Man Wanted It To Be

The Year Of Dedication Was Written On The Torii, And It Read '2650th Year Of The Emperor'

When You Leave Konnoh Hachimangu And Cross The Road, You Are At Toyosaka Inari, But The Precincts Have A Very Different Atmosphere

Plugs In The Ground May Be The Link Between Hades And This World, And The Worship Hall May Just Be A Decoration

Shibuya Hikawa Jinja And Konnoh Hachimangu, Which Are Located Not Too Far Apart, Were Founded In The Same Year, According To A Legend

A Torii Gate Stood On The Other Side Of The Approach Between The Trees, With A Bus Running On The Other Side Of It

The Omekaido Overbridge Seemed To Separate The Messy Kabukicho From The Tidy Sub-centre

The Alleyways That Still Remain Around The Area Outside Shinjuku's South Exit Give The Atmosphere Of A Black Market That Stood In The Throes Of The Post-war Years

In The Past, Purple Was Considered A Noble Colour In Japan, And There Was A Time When Only The Royal Family And Those Associated With Them Were Allowed To Use It

The Girl's Skirt And Umbrella Shone So Brightly In The Sunlight, Their Vibrancy Contrasting With The Dull-coloured Torii Gate On The Other Side

The Girl's White Skirt Glistened In The Sunlight Pouring Down From The Ground

The Clothing Shop At The End Of A Longer-than-expected Shopping Street Was Having A Sale

Until Edo Castle Was Built, The Inui Moat Was A Natural River, And The Natural Valley Terrain Leading From Chidorigafuchi Was Used To Dam The Water And Make A Moat

There Is A Small Gate Called 'Kitahanebashi-mon' Just Behind The Edo Castle Main Tower

The Pine Trees Seemed Too Small To Serve As A Replacement For The Main Tower

The Stones Used For The Stone Walls Were All Large And Piled In A Shimmering Arc
