Putting my upcoming work in Mexico City and Säo Paulo aside for the meantime, Tokyo is the place I feel most attracted to right now. For several years, in a completely natural, even inevitable way, Tokyo has emerged in the heart of my mind as my next target….
Though I’ve already lived some 47 years in Tokyo, I could hardly say that I really know the city well. Even though I have the impression that my camera and I have trekked quite a lot through Tokyo, shooting here and there, I’ve long had the uneasy feeling that my coverage of most neighborhoods has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. I hope that such a project will allow me to appease that feeling. For example, I’d like to begin by walking around Tateishi, Aoto or Koiwa along the Keisei Railway. Yes, that’s probably the way I’Il be making a living a few years down the line. And then, l’Il probably return to Shinjuku once again.
