Self-Introduction | Focusing on the Margins of the City

I live right next to a railroad crossing at a station in Nakano Ward where express trains do not stop.
This is a place where many people just pass through. However, at their feet, the 'hidden daily life of the city' that no one notices lies quietly.

About my 'observations'
I want to be a flâneur, an observer wandering through the city.

Memories of the past: The days I spent in South Korea for six years starting in 2007. I kept photographing the daily scenes of markets in a foreign land.
Current perspective: While working in an environment-related field, I now walk through the residential areas of Tokyo. Just like slowly turning the focus ring of my partner Fujifilm camera, I wait for the moment when the boundaries of daily life become blurred.

Why I place stories here
The photos I take are not beautiful landscapes of the city. They are hidden stories I found by chance that no one else notices.
I record the fragments of 'what if' behind those moments captured by my camera lens here in the form of 'short stories.' This is a 'delusional bookstore without a physical shop' inside my head.

To my readers
The stories lined up here are all indifferent, and perhaps a little lyrical. That resembles the strange texture I feel when I quietly focus manually on the 'margins of the city' that I have found.
If you, as a passerby, could overlap your own impressions with that scenery even for a moment, I would be happy if you would quietly leave a 'like'.
Today, too, I am walking through the hidden daily life of the city with my camera in hand.
