In pursuit of the Tokyo we don't know
During the interview for this special feature, I came across an unexpected scene.
While I was shooting at a certain store, I noticed an elementary school boy sitting and crying in front of a nearby house. When I asked him what was going on, I found out that his mother was not there at the appointed time and he was unable to enter the house, so he was crying out of anger and anxiety.
The owner of the store where we were interviewing then called out to the child, saying, "Come wait for me at my house," and the child was able to wait inside the store for his family to return.
Seeing the owner preparing to open his shop, offering snacks and juice and occasionally asking the children if they were OK, made me realize that even in Tokyo, which has an image of being a cold city, such warm human relationships exist.
Tokyo is a city full of new discoveries.
We hope that this special feature will help readers broaden their "Tokyo map" even just a little. And if starting tomorrow you can find just one more way to enjoy Tokyo in your own way, nothing would make us happier than this editorial team.
