Kyodo Honcho Street (Tokyo) - Japan  2023

Girls Eating on Stairs (Tokyo) - Japan  2023

"It was said Tosamori-Yaemon Matsubara, a doctor of the Edo shogunate, was a rare doctor at the time and owned many specialized books. The villagers who could hardly read and write thought that the books were sutras (means 'Kyo' in Japanese), and because Matsubara built a temple (means 'Do' in Japanese) on the property, so it came to be called 'Kyodo'."

"Kyodo is a neighbourhood in the centre of the western Setagaya ward of Tokyo. It’s also an express stop on the Odakyu Line, which means you can get here from Shinjuku within 15 minutes and from uber cool Shimokitazawa in less than 5 minutes."
