Vibrant Nostalgia
Tokyo is, to put it simply, a big mess. There are massive crowds everywhere you go. The historical temples and shrines remind us of simpler, slower times, but the cutting edge architecture pressures us to look forward. Underground idol freaks sneak out at night to visit the mecca of manga and anime. Each season a new bizarre fashion trend rises to replace its predecessor. Tokyo is a shameless monster that swallows up everything, be it vulgar or sophisticated – that’s the true of the city.
