asakusa

day 9

today's contrast: big and small.

asakusa is an older, artisanal area of tokyo - where we found 'kitchentown'. so of course, i started taking pictures of cars.



here's a small car. i have no idea what it is.






large spatulas. 5' tall actually.






small alley. again - there's no earth here - everything's in pots. i'm developing a theory on packaging. more on that later.






big temple. we didn't go inside, but we did climb the fence. on the other side, the space was filled with graves. you can see the headstones. that means the remains are above street level, right behind that wall.






a really big space. this is the international forum, which is stunning when you find it amidst the crush of downtown.
