The shadows may well be closing in, but Kitamoto-san is clearly having none of it and stoically soldiering on.

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.

Thanks a lot!
Yes, it’s certainly how I imagine it anyway. I liked her determination, but perhaps more so her name on the cart. Strangely touching somehow.
Fear the reaper? My optometrist has told me I will need bifocals soon. Nothing could have prepared me for how old I’ve felt since that day
Sorry to hear that. I can well imagine how it must have felt. But so long as you don’t have then dangling round your neck on string, you’ll look fine!
You can’t beat a decent camera bag for your glass(es) – a good combination of prime and macro lenses!
