ASTRO BOY

 

Takadanobaba, Tokyo. April 2010

Once stepping onto the platform of the JR line at Takadanobaba station I was greeted with the Astro Boy theme song, as I made my way out of the station via the Seibu exit there stood an Astro Boy mural wall. The mural wall was impressive, it really brought the street to life, the colours the images the large backdrop. I later researched into the significance of this particular station to Astro Boy, and turns out that Takadonababa was the workplace of the late creator of the anime Mr Tezuka Osamu. Astro Boy lives on..

OLD MEETS NEW


Azabu Juban, Tokyo. January 2011

OLD MEETS NEW. Every time I come across this view I can't help but stop to think that despite the cities rapid moving pace, trains every 3 minutes, millions jumping on and off at the next stop, this culture continues to withhold its heritage.
Tradition still remains in the heart of modern Japan.
