Words of Wisdom:

I don't tend to see much grafitti in Tokyo. When I do spot some, I invariably photograph it as it's such a contradiction to the generally clean and sterile Japanese streetscape. I spotted this one in the backstreets of Harajuku:

I wonder if the artist was Japanese or foreign?

Ancient Vs. Modern:

Tokyo is a wondrous contrast of old and new...

A lovely stone lantern and the flashy windows of the Loewe store in Omotesando.

A shrine dwarfed by surrounding mansions and advertising in Harajuku.

Which do you prefer; old or new?
