Almost all of the scenery in Tokyo is familiar to me,

because I have lived here for over thirty years.

The city hasn’t been designed beautifully for appearance.

However, sometimes due to this I can see things that I haven’t expected.

Each structure has been constructed by someone with satisfaction,

but there exists an unbalanced, discontent feeling to the whole city.

I’ve found myself feeling something fascination like a vertigo,

when I photograph its peculiar aspects.

 

“Come, woo me, woo me; for now I am in a holiday humour, and like enough to consent."

- William Shakespeare, As You Like It
