Emergence Tokyo vol. 4

I started this collection when I was little, with photographs of birds, trees, mountains. Here I focus on parks, flowers and rivers. There are green spaces everywhere; and, in the spring, apart from the sakura (cherry blossoms), well there are flowers everywhere, from the pots outside grandmothers’ houses to the embankments by the rivers.

Bicycles

After subways and trains, I think they are the most-used means in Tokyo for personal travel. And they have their charm, seeing people pedalling them here and there or capturing them parked up.

They are a photographic icon par excellence of Japan.

In Tokyo, and by extension in Japan, there are a lot of old houses where people still live. These houses are usually from the Showa era, and are made mostly of wood with iron elements.
