The serene and yet somehow slightly unsettling sight of a man sleeping in the weak but very welcome winter sun.

  Thanks! A tough day presumably, or a long night…

These shots get me every time. I would love to be able to just take a nap whenever, wherever.

  Tell me about it, I feel exactly the same. It must be lovely to just have half an hour whenever, wherever, or whatever the temperature!

About

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.
