join the circus

This is me attempting to engage the world around me, search for justice, and spread peace.

Ginza, Tokyo


This is someone's legal home. There's power hook-up, and a washing machine and tiny garden by the door. This is in Ginza, the riches district in Tokyo. This windowless tin shack is surrounded by extravagant high-rise condos and shopping complexes.
The Imperial Detached Garden was once used by the Emperor and his family to fish and hunt ducks. It has a salt water pond fed by the bay. This was the image I had in my head of a "Japanese Garden". It was picture-perfect and felt surreal with the sky scrapers looming behind it.
