Love in the age of Fukushima Daiichi?
Tokyo Times is owned and run by me, Lee Chapman, a long-term resident of Tokyo who arrived in 1998 for ‘a year or two’, and, for a myriad of reasons, stayed put.
Japan means many things to many people, but Tokyo Times is how I see it. The places. The people. The day-to-day situations. All of it shot using a Leica, a Nikon and a selection of lenses.
My photographs have appeared in the Guardian and Japan Times, plus numerous magazines and books. Should you wish to use any, or simply ask a question, you can get in touch with me here.

This drawing is a very cool idea
Where did you find it? In Tokyo?
Yes, that’s what I thought. Interesting and very sad at the same time.
It was in Tokyo. In Nezu. I can probably give you the exact location if you want it.
Nice find. Love the rustic nature of the background too!
Cheers Michael. Yeah, it wouldn’t have been quite the same on a pristine wall.
Cool!!
I like this drawing as it’s well draw and creative too.
But the content of drawing seem a bit offensive.
That’s interesting Winnie. Personally I don’t find it offensive, but instead an almost Banksy-esque dig at TEPCO, the government, and the on-going saga at Fukushima Daiichi.
Much too hot and exhausting in those suits! In the UK one might wonder if there is an ongoing saga?
Yes, the news moved on long ago, didn’t it? Despite 24 hour coverage, it always amaze me how little the TV channels actually cover.
This is an award-winning book cover just waiting to happen.
Yes, just a pity I can’t claim ownership of the artwork…
I’d like to know who did it though.
Made me smile. At least people have their sense of humor intact.
Yes, the best and often only way to deal with things sometimes.
