Sakura in Wadabori Park
Apr 13th
Hanami (Flower Viewing) has become my favourite time of year in Japan. The few days of blossoms remind me of life, renewal, and the ephemeral nature of living things.
Music by Boards of Canada, the song is Zoetrope.

Shinagawa’s River of People Phenomenon
Dec 11th
Every weekday morning from 8-10am at Shinagawa station in Tokyo, crowds of people on their way to work flow like a river through the corridors of the station. Tokyo business commuters are famous for packing into trains to get to and from work, this video depicts what happens at a major business district when the commuting rush arrives in Shinagawa. This is quite possibly the busiest area in Japan at this time. Music by The MFA, the song is The Difference It Makes (original mix), from James Holden’s album, Balance 005. This video was captured on one morning in December 2008.
