Mid-century clarity in the heart of Tokyo.
Donald Judd at Isetan Shinjuku —
simple, clean, and uncompromising.

I want to live.
I want to die.
Both are true.

Tokyo Opera City, Galleria.
Light, structure, and a long breath of space.

Some structures keep working
even after
the work behind them is erased.

Very mid-century.
Calm. Certain.

Akana Keiko (1924–1998)

Putting out fresh seeds on a cold day and these Mourning Doves magically appear out of nowhere. I was literally 5 feet away (1.5 m) and she didn't mind.

The entrance of the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
On weekend mornings, it’s empty — just sky, space, and calm.

A strange stretch of Tokyo where the expressway and the local road run side by side.
Speed and stillness, divided by a thin line.
Nishi-Shinjuku, on an ordinary afternoon.

What is No Map City? — #2
Sometimes, staying is the lightest choice.

In this world, rabbits are guardians.

It’s what I’d like to be.

A blue neon work by Tracey Emin.
It looks soft and innocent,
but it actually expresses a deeper and heavier feeling —
a wish that feels personal and complicated.

The Edo by KITH Treats
Vanilla base layered with brown rice cereal, rice puffs, kinako, black honey, and karinto.
A modern mix of Japanese textures.

Yoshitomo Nara, 1999.

A quiet fusion of illustration and fine art.
Cute, yet unsettling—
a tenderness that carries something slightly off.

Soft lines, simple forms,
and an emotion that refuses to stay simple.

Hideko Fukushima,

Around 1955, She began pressing inked objects directly onto the canvas,
transferring lines and forms and assembling them into her compositions.

A quiet presence within postwar abstraction—
one that was long overlooked.

A weekend liminal spot.
Tokyo Opera City —
the edge of Shibuya.

Kiyosumi Garden — a compact Japanese garden in the heart of Tokyo.

Even on weekends, it remains quiet and unhurried.
Still water, soft winter light,
and ducks drifting in their sleep.

A place where time loosens its grip,
and the city breathes more slowly.

A quiet station in the city.
Minami-Shinjuku Station on the Odakyu Line.

Even surrounded by Tokyo,
the pace slows here just enough —
and the calm feels gentle.

A blue sky over Tokyo.
Takebashi Crossing —
museums, newsrooms, and the memory of Edo Castle
coexist at the city’s true center.

At night, gas stations wake up
when humans are no longer the main characters.

Along Yamate-dori, on the edge of Shibuya,
only light and structure remain,
and it feels as if they are watching us.
