Herds
Tokyo, Japan.
From Asakusa, I will remember the plastic leaves hanging from streetlights or perhaps the eaves of shops, an education into the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism. From Ueno, I have images of waterlillies and deep conversations about homeless people. The Crown Prince and Princess at the Imperial Palace welcomed by a small crowd of tourists. Of Ginza, the sheer towering lights, the shops, the crowd, an unexpected amount of French - not necessarily correct. Of Shibuya, colour, noise, people. People, people, people. Herds directed by traffic lights. My companions laugh at my paranoia of safely crossing roads.
