In a city of constant renewal,a bicycle passes a wooden house left behind by time.
This image captures a fleeting intersection between the past that still stands and the present that moves forward.
It is a quiet document of today, a moment that may vanish in the next hundred years.
A simple gesture, yet a message to the future:
We were here. So was this.

A Tokyo-based street photographer capturing fleeting moments that often go unnoticed in the city's layered spaces.
Through recurring themes of anonymity, structural tension, and the interplay of light and shadow, the work explores the quiet narratives embedded in urban life—memories dissolved in time, and the fragile presence of the nameless.
Rooted in observation and precision, each image seeks not spectacle, but resonance.
