Tokyo continually throws up contrasts, and this one clearly highlights the city’s mix of the old and new, traditional and modern. What isn’t quite so clear, however, is whether it’s the ghost of Prada past, present or future.

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.

Somebody is clearly watching the old man who hasn’t given into consumer goods
Yeah, a man bravely holding out against the clamour for brand goods. There again, his pockets are probably filled with iDevices!
That scared me for a second. :p Happy Halloween!
Cheers! If it was a ghost, it’d probably be a good bet for the best dressed!
