Together, and yet very much alone, as the tide slowly came in.
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.

Strange – reminded me of the closing scene in Hana-Bi. Hopefully this had a better ending.
True. Also a bit like A scene at the sea (Also Kitano). Same about the ending
Interesting. I haven’t got round to watching either yet, so even more reason to do so now.
Agreed!
It is also very much like the closing scene from the 1969 film Goyokin.
That’s another one for me to check out!
Indeed, very Kitano-like shot! I do like the winter coat of the woman, very typical
Yes, once it gets a bit cold, those large, quilt-like coats come out. They do look warm though.
“What happened to the mall?”
So peaceful…
Like the serenity just like time is stop for a moment.
